Quotation2
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.

High confidenceLeviticus 20:9 ('everyone who curses his father or mother shall be put to death') is a near-identical alternate source for the death-penalty clause and may stand behind Mark alongside Exodus 21:17. Strong availability; offered as parallel attestation.
