A parallelism in Exodus 21:12-17 connects murder with the battery of a parent and connects kidnapping with the cursing of a parent. God takes "Honor your father and mother" very seriously.
- A - V12-14 – Murder and manslaughter
--- B - V15 – Battery of a parent
- A - V16 – Kidnapping
--- B - V17 – Mortal cursing of a parent
Verse 15 applies to attempted patricide/matricide, not just physical abuse, and verse 17 applies to cursing with deadly intent, not to just bad mouthing or wishing ill against someone.
As with all other capital crimes, there must be two witnesses in order to convict the accused.

Have you ever made your own candles from rendered beef tallow?
Tallow candles are so cute in a mason jar, but they are also great to have on hand for emergencies.
Making a DIY candle from regular rendered beef fat is not that hard and results in a simple jar candle that burns beautifully!
