Bagian Terkait Imamat 20:14

It is written, the genitals of a woman and her daughter you shall not uncover, and it is written, if a man take a woman and her mother, it is taboo. Everywhere is written lying with, but here is written taking, to teach you that he cannot be [criminally] liable for the second woman unless she be taken by him. Or maybe he is [criminally] liable only by marriage? We already said that there is no valid incestuous marriage. But is it not written: Nobody may marry his father’s wife, and he should not uncover his father’s garment’s corner? This comes to tell that she was permitted to him before his father married her. But is it not written: If a man take his brother’s wife? This comes to tell you that she was permitted to him before his brother married her. This is understood by levirate. But is it not written: You should not take a woman in addition to her sister? This comes to tell you that she was permitted to him before he married her sister. This is understood after her sister’s death. But is it not written: A man who would take his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, it is ḥesed? That you should not say that Cain married his sister, Abel married his sister, it is charitable, I was charitable with the first generations so the world could be inhabited; I said, the world was built on ḥesed. But is it not written: Widow, divorcee, and desecrated, these he shall not take? This comes to tell you that if he became betrothed to her, the betrothal is valid.

And following Rebbi Meïr? Since Rebbi Meïr said, a gezerah šawah³⁰Cf. Chapter 8, Note 195. R. Meïr holds that a gezerah šawah is valid only for the rules covered by the respective verses. is at the place it comes from, from where is the third generation (below) forbidden³¹Instead of “below” one has to read מלמעל “above”. In Lev. 18:17, the daughter and granddaughter of a woman are forbidden as taboo to a man sleeping with the woman. Therefore, the question can only be whether the grandmother also is forbidden since the pivot of the prohibition is the woman he slept with first and, as a matter of principle, infractions of prohibitions are punishable only if the punishment is stated in the code. The mother is certainly under an incest prohibition whose infraction would be a capital crime; this is stated in Lev. 20:14.? And following the rabbis, who say, a gezerah šawah is said about them³²It refers to all aspects of the laws involved., from where that the third generation above is punished by burning³³Since she is not mentioned in the verse.? Both for Rebbi Meïr and the rabbis, from where that the third generation above is forbidden? Since it is written “taboo, taboo” for a gezerah šawah, it is as if all were included; all are included³⁴In both Chapters 18 and 20, the prohibition of a woman and either her descendants or ancestors appear in one verse. Therefore, in this case there is no difference in the positions of R. Meïr and the rabbis. The gezerah šawah is sufficient to transfer the prohibition of the descendants (18:17) to the ancestors (20:14) and the punishment from the ancestors to the descendants. Cf. Halakhah 2:4. The same argument is in the Babli, Sanhedrin 75b..

¹³The changes from or additions to the text in Y are underlined. It is clear that the Yebamot text is the correct one, where in the references to Lev. 20:14 “upwards” and “downwards” have to be interchanged and in the last sentence “mother” replaces “daughter”. Rav Huna understood all of these [rules] from this verse: The genitals of a woman and her daughter you should nor uncover. And it is written, if a man take a woman and her daughter, it is taboo. Taboo-taboo for an equal cut. Since there are three generations downwards, so there are three generations upwards. Since there is a prohibition downwards, there is a prohibition upwards. Since downwards one requires marriage, so upwards one requires marriage. Since downwards they are burned, so upwards they are burned. Since downwards He gave the male’s daughter the same status as the female’s daughter, so upwards we give the male’s daughter the same status as the female’s daughter.
