488 B

obey the command of your father ... do not abandon the teaching of your mother

These two phrases are very similar in meaning, but the use of both "father" and "mother" explicitly includes women in the teaching process. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism)

do not abandon the teaching of your mother

The abstract noun "teaching" can be expressed as a verb. Alternate translation: "Do not reject what your mother teaches you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-litotes)
