Leviticus 20:12

20:12 If a man has sexual intercourse with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have committed perversion; ¹  their blood guilt is on themselves.

Genesis 38:18-19

38:18 He said, “What pledge should I give you?” She replied, “Your seal, your cord, and the staff that’s in your hand.” So he gave them to her and had sex with her. ²  She became pregnant by him. 38:19 She left immediately, ³  removed her veil, and put on her widow’s clothes.

Genesis 38:26

38:26 Judah recognized them and said, “She is more upright ⁴  than I am, because I wouldn’t give her to Shelah my son.” He did not have sexual relations with her ⁵  again.

Ezekiel 22:11

22:11 One ⁶  commits an abominable act with his neighbor’s wife; another obscenely defiles his daughter-in-law; another violates ⁷  his sister – his father’s daughter ⁸  – within you.

¹ tn The Hebrew term תֶּבֶל (tevel, “perversion”) derives from the verb “to mix; to confuse” (cf. KJV, ASV “they have wrought confusion”).

² tn Heb “and he went to her.” This expression is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

³ tn Heb “and she arose and left,” the first verb in the pair emphasizing that she wasted no time.

⁴ tn Traditionally “more righteous”; cf. NCV, NRSV, NLT “more in the right.”

⁵ tn Heb “and he did not add again to know her.” Here “know” is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

⁶ tn Heb “a man.”

⁷ tn The verb is the same one used in verse 10b and suggests forcible sexual violation of the woman.

⁸ sn Sexual relations with one’s half-sister may be primarily in view here. See Lev 18:9; 20:17.
