In the Ten Commandments, <a href="/exodus/20-14.htm">Exodus 20:14</a> explicitly states, "You shall not commit adultery." Adultery is considered an abomination because it violates the sanctity of marriage, a covenant relationship established by God. In the cultural context of ancient Israel, marriage was not only a personal commitment but also a social contract that affected the entire community. The act of adultery was seen as a betrayal of trust and a disruption of social order. This sin is also addressed in <a href="/leviticus/18-20.htm">Leviticus 18:20</a>, which warns against lying carnally with a neighbor's wife, emphasizing the severity of such actions.another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; This phrase refers to incestuous relationships, which are strictly prohibited in Levitical law. <a href="/leviticus/18-15.htm">Leviticus 18:15 and 20</a>:12 specifically forbid sexual relations with a daughter-in-law, labeling it as a perversion. Such acts were considered detestable because they violated family boundaries and the natural order established by God. In the historical context, these laws were given to set the Israelites apart from the surrounding nations, which often engaged in such practices. The use of the word "wickedly" underscores the moral depravity and intentional rebellion against God's commandments.and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter. This phrase addresses another form of incest, which is explicitly condemned in <a href="/leviticus/18-9.htm">Leviticus 18:9 and 20</a>:17. The act of violating one's sister is seen as a grave sin because it disrupts the familial structure and purity that God intended. In ancient Israel, family was the foundational unit of society, and maintaining its integrity was crucial. The mention of "his own father's daughter" emphasizes the close familial relationship, making the sin even more egregious. This violation is not only a personal sin but also a communal one, as it brings dishonor and impurity to the family and the nation.
