3. Mojžišova 20:17

Bible kralická

Kdož by koli vezma sestru svou, dceru otce svého, aneb dceru matky své, viděl by hanbu její, a ona také viděla by hanbu jeho, mrzkost jest. Protož vyhlazeni budou před očima synů lidu svého; nebo hanbu sestry své odkryl, nepravost svou ponese.

Parallel Translations

Český ekumenický překlad
Kdyby si někdo vzal svou sestru, dceru svého otce nebo své matky, aby spatřil její nahotu a ona spatřila jeho nahotu, je to potupa; budou vyobcováni před zraky synů svého lidu. Odkryl nahotu své sestry, ponese následky své nepravosti.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter,.... Take her to be his wife, or commit lewdness with her, whether she be his sister by both father and mother's side, or whether by one only, either way she is his sister, and it is not lawful to marry her, or lie with her, see Leviticus 18:9:

and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; which is not to be understood of an immodest view, exposing to each other what should not be seen, and pleasing themselves wills such obscene sights, but of the act of lying together, for so it is afterwards explained by a phrase frequently used to express that action by; and it denotes, as Aben Ezra observes, their mutual consent and agreement in it:

it [is] a wicked thing; and by no means to be done; it is a breach of a former law, it is a scandalous and reproachful thing, and the word is sometimes used for reproach, as in Proverbs 14:34;

and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; by death, either by the hand of the civil magistrate, or by the hand of God, by the pestilence, as the Targum of Jonathan; Ben Gersom interprets it, of their dying childless, as in some following cases, Leviticus 20:20;

he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; or lay with her, which explains a preceding clause:

he shall bear his iniquity; the punishment of it, and he alone, as Aben Ezra observes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Cut off ... - See Exodus 31:14 note. The more full expression here used probably refers to some special form of public excommunication, accompanied, it may be, by expulsion from the camp.
