  2. Exposition

What is the context of verse 9?

Leviticus 20:9 (ESV)

9 For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.

The sin in verse Leviticus 20:9 violates the fifth commandment of the Decalogue (Exodus 20:12) and the law given in Leviticus 19:3.
