Staten Vertaling

Leviticus 20:17

En als een man zijn zuster, de dochter zijns vaders, of de dochter zijner moeder, zal genomen hebben, en hij haar schaamte gezien, en zij zijn schaamte zal gezien hebben, het is een schandvlek; daarom zullen zij voor de ogen van de kinderen huns volks uitgeroeid worden; hij heeft de schaamte zijner zuster ontdekt, hij zal zijn ongerechtigheid dragen.

Parallel Translations

Gereviseerde Lutherse Vertaling
Als iemand zijne zuster neemt, de dochter zijns vaders of de dochter zijner moeder, en hare schaamte beziet en zij wederom zijne schaamte, dat is ene bloedschande, en zij zullen uitgeroeid worden voor de lieden huns volks, want hij heeft de schaamte zijner zuster ontbloot; hij zal zijne misdaad dragen.
Gereviseerde Leidse Vertaling
Wanneer iemand zijn zuster huwt, hetzij zijns vaders, hetzij zijner moeder dochter, zodat hij haar schaamte ziet en zij de zijne, dat is een schande; zij zullen ten aanschouwen hunner volksgenoten uitgeroeid worden. Hij heeft de schaamte zijner zuster ontdekt; hij zal zijn schuld dragen.

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.
