The deliverer of Israel must declare war upon idolatry before he went to battle with the enemies of his people. He must esteem the honor of God above the credit of his father, and regard the divine commands as more obligatory than parental authority.

Israels befriere må erklære krig mod afguderi, før han gik i krig mod sit folks fjender. Han må højagte Guds ære frem for sin faders ære, og betragte den guddommelige befaling som mere bindende end forældrenes autoritet.
