Wesley's Leviticus 19:32 Bible Commentary
19:32 Rise up — To do them reverence when they pass by, for which end they were obliged, as the Jews say, presently to sit down again when they were past, that it might be manifest they arose out of respect to them.
Fear thy God — This respect is due to such, if not for themselves, yet for God's sake, who requires this reverence, and whose singular blessing old age is.
