SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:13
La desnudez de la hermana de tu madre no descubrirás; porque parienta de tu madre es.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister , etc.] Which is the same relation as before, an aunt by the mother’s side; wherefore, if such a marriage was unlawful, this must also, and for the same reason: for she [is] thy mother’s near kinswoman ; the same phraseology is used here as in the preceding verse; (see Gill on “ Leviticus 18:12”); and by the same rule a woman might not marry her uncle, whether by father or mother’s side, the relation being the same, and this reaches to great-uncle and great-aunt; instances of women marrying their uncles, and men their aunts, among the Heathens, have been given, as among the Persians and Lacedaemonians by Herodotus f633 , and among the Romans by Tacitus f634 , but were, in his time, new things with the latter.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Unlawful marriages and fleshly lusts. --Here is a law against all conformity to the corrupt usages of the heathen. Also laws against incest, against brutal lusts, and barbarou idolatries; and the enforcement of these laws from the ruin of the Canaanites. God here gives moral precepts. Close and constant adherenc to God's ordinances is the most effectual preservative from gross sin The grace of God only will secure us; that grace is to be expected onl in the use of the means of grace. Nor does He ever leave any to their hearts' lusts, till they have left him and his services __________________________________________________________________
