Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... He continued speaking to him, after he had delivered to him the laws respecting the day of atonement, and the bringing of the sacrifices to the door of the tabernacle, and particularly concerning the Israelites not worshipping devils, as they had done in Egypt: the Lord proceeds to deliver out others, the more effectually to guard against both the immoral and idolatrous practice, of the Egyptians and Canaanites:
saying, as follows.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVIII
The people are commanded to avoid the doings of the Egyptians
and Canaanites, 1-3.
They are to do God's judgments, and to keep his ordinances,
that they may live, 4, 5.
Marriages with those who are near of kin are prohibited, 6.
None to marry with his mother or step-mother, 7, 8;
with his sister or step-sister, 9;
with his grand-daughter, 10;
nor with the daughter of his step-mother, 11;
nor with his aunt, by father or mother, 12, 13;
nor with his uncle's wife, 14;
nor with his daughter-in-law, 15;
nor sister-in-law, 16;
nor with a woman and her daughter, son's daughter, or
daughter's daughter, 17;
nor with two sisters at the same time, 18.
Several abominations prohibited, 19-23,
of which the Canaanites, &c., were guilty, and for which they
were cast out of the land, 24, 25.
The people are exhorted to avoid these abominations, lest they
be treated as the ancient inhabitants of the land were treated,
and so cast out, 26-28.
Threatenings against the disobedient, 29,
and promises to the obedient, 30.
