Jump to Previous Begotten Born Child Conceived Daughter Father's Nakedness Relations Sexual Sister Uncover Wife Wife'sJump to Next Begotten Born Child Conceived Daughter Father's Nakedness Relations Sexual Sister Uncover Wife Wife'sLeviticus 18 1. Unlawful marriages and unlawful lustsYou must not have sexual relations This phrase is a direct command, emphasizing the prohibition of certain sexual behaviors. The Hebrew root here is "גלה ערוה" (galah ervah), which means to uncover nakedness, a euphemism for sexual relations. This command is part of a broader set of laws given to the Israelites to maintain holiness and purity, reflecting God's desire for His people to live distinctively from the surrounding nations, which often engaged in such practices. with the daughter of your father’s wife born to your father she is your sister Begotten of thy father.--Literally, the birth, or offspring of thy father (see Leviticus 18:9), that is, though the daughter of the stepmother, she is begotten by the same father, and hence is his half-sister on the father's side, which is exactly the same case already prohibited in the first clause of Leviticus 18:9. Hence to avoid a senseless repetition of the same prohibition we must either regard this clause as having crept into the text from a marginal gloss, or we must correct the first letter of the disjunctive particle in Leviticus 18:9, which would make it "the nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father and the daughter of thy mother." Accordingly, Leviticus 18:9 prohibits marriage with a full sister, whilst the verse before us forbids it with a half-sister. The latter is the more probable, since intermarriage between entire stepbrother and stepsister has always been, and still is, legitimate among the Jews. . . . Verse 11. - Incest with a half-sister on the father's side is again forbidden. Perhaps "the prohibition refers to the son by a first marriage, whereas verse 9 treats of the son by a second marriage" (Keil).Parallel Commentaries ...
