וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִקַּ֛ח אֶת־אֵ֥שֶׁת אָחִ֖יו נִדָּ֣ה הִ֑וא עֶרְוַ֥ת אָחִ֛יו גִּלָּ֖ה עֲרִירִ֥ים יִהְיֽוּ׃
Seorang laki-laki yang mengambil istri saudara laki-lakinya, itu adalah perbuatan yang menjijikkan; ia telah menyingkapkan aurat saudaranya; mereka akan tetap tanpa anak.
Zohar
R. Hiya then expounded the next verse: “The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and she shall have no lack of spoil”. ‘The “husband”,’ he said, ‘is the Holy One, blessed be He, who hath appointed her to govern the whole world and placed in her hands all his armoury and warriors; wherefore she “lacketh not spoil”.’
Zohar
What, then, does He do for such a one? Instead of sending him back to this world to undergo punishment for the sins of his former life, the Holy One gives him instead into the hands of the celestial Tribunal, who judge him and deliver him unto the house of punishment. And the Holy One records how he was delivered to the Tribunal, and places on him a stigma by putting him under the domination of the Orlah (unclean spirits)1Al. “and puts him under the domination of the Jubilee year”. for a certain period of time, after which his Master redeems him.
