New American Standard Bible
"He who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

King James Bible
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Whoever strikes his father or his mother must be put to death."
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

To smite either father or mother, in a manner which indicated either contempt or malice, or left marks of violence, was deemed a proof of so ungrateful and unnatural a disposition, that no provocation was admitted as an excuse, but the offence was made capital: nay, he who cursed his father or mother, who uttered imprecations, ill wishes, or revilings, against a parent, was included in the same sense; though few crimes were made capital by the law of Moses. The law of God, as delegated to parents is honoured when they are honoured, and despised when they are despised: and to rebel against the lawful exercise of this authority is rebellion against God.--Rev. T. Scott
