John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 18:11

The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter ,.... Either the daughter of his father by another wife, which seems to be countenanced by what follows: begotten of thy father, she is thy sister ; but then this coincides with what is prohibited, Leviticus 18:9 , "the daughter of thy father"; that is, by another woman than a man's mother, only with this difference, that there is added, or "daughter of thy mother", that is, by another man than a man's own father; so that there is a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 18:12

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister ,.... His aunt by his father's side, an instance of which we have in Amram, Exodus 6:20 ; and Maimonides says F9 Hilchot Issure Biah, c. 2. sect. 5. , an aunt was forbidden whether she was a father's sister in lawful wedlock or in fornication: she is thy father's near kinswoman ; or, the rest of thy father F11 שאר אביך "reliquiarum patris tui", Tigurine version. ; the residue of his flesh, one of the same... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 18:13

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister ,.... Which is the same relation as before, an aunt by the mother's side; wherefore, if such a marriage was unlawful, this must also, and for the same reason: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman ; the same phraseology is used here as in the preceding verse; See Gill on Leviticus 18:12 ; and by the same rule a woman might not marry her uncle, whether by father or mother's side, the relation being the same, and this reaches... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 18:3

The doings of the land of Egypt - the land of Canaan - The worshipping of demons, beasts, etc., as mentioned in the preceding chapter, Leviticus 17:7 , and the abominations mentioned in this chapter from Leviticus 18:21-23 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 18:6

Any that is near of kin - בשרו שאר כל col shear besaro , any remnant of his flesh, i.e., to any particularly allied to his own family, the prohibited degrees in which are specified from the 7th to the 17th verse ( Leviticus 18:7-17 ;) inclusive. Notwithstanding the prohibitions here, it must be evident that in the infancy of the world, persons very near of kin must have been joined in matrimonial alliances; and that even brothers must have matched with their own sisters. This must have... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 18:4

Verse 4 4.Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments. Because it is no less difficult to correct vices, to which men have been long accustomed, than to cure diseases of long standing, especially because people in general so pertinaciously cleave to bad examples, God adduces His statutes, in order to recall the people from the errors of their evil habits into the right way. For nothing is more absurd than for us to fix our minds on the actions of men, and not on God’s word, in which is... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 18:5

Verse 5 5.Ye shall therefore keep my statutes. Although Moses introduces this passage, where he exhorts the Israelites to cultivate chastity in respect to marriage, and not to fall into the incestuous pollutions of the Gentiles, yet, as it is a remarkable one, and contains general instruction, from whence Paul derives his definition of the righteousness of the Law, (Romans 10:5,) it seems to me to come in very appropriately here, inasmuch as it sanctions and confirms the Law by the promise of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 18:6

Verse 6 6.None of you shall approach to any that is near. This name does not include all female relations; for cousin-ger-mans of the father’s or mother’s side are permitted to intermarry; but it must be restricted to the degrees, which He proceeds to enumerate, and is merely a brief preface, declaring that there are certain degrees of relationship which render marriages incestuous. We may, therefore, define these female relations of blood to be those which are spoken of immediately afterwards,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 18:1-4

Two aspects of sin. There are many ways in which sin may be regarded. Directed by these words, we may look at it in— I. ITS UGLY ASPECT AS SEEN IN HUMAN ILLUSTRATIONS . The children of Israel were warned to separate themselves in every way from "the doings of the land of Egypt" and from "the doings of the land of Canaan" ( Leviticus 18:3 ). These were to be a beacon to them; they were things to be hated and shunned. To those who had not been brought down themselves to... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 18:1-5

Form an introduction to the Hebrew code of prohibited degrees of marriage and of forbidden sins of lust. The formal and solemn declaration, I am the Lord your God , is made three times in these five verses. This places before the people the two thoughts: 1 . That the Lord is holy, and they ought to be like him in holiness; 2 . That the Lord has commanded holiness, and they ought to obey him by being holy. Because the Lord is their God, and they are his people, they are, negatively,... read more
