Chasidut su Levitico 18:10
עֶרְוַ֤ת בַּת־בִּנְךָ֙ א֣וֹ בַֽת־בִּתְּךָ֔ לֹ֥א תְגַלֶּ֖ה עֶרְוָתָ֑ן כִּ֥י עֶרְוָתְךָ֖ הֵֽנָּה׃ (ס)
La nudità di tuo figlio'figlia di tua figlia'figlia, non scoprirai neppure la loro nudità; poiché la loro è la tua stessa nudità.
Kedushat Levi
Levitcus 18,6. “none of you shall come near anyone of his own flesh to uncover nakedness; I am the Lord.”
I first wish to explain what King Solomon said in Proverbs 3,6 בכל דרכיך דעהו, “in all your ways you are to acknowledge Him.” Solomon means that all our activities should have as their ultimate aim to provide our Creator with satisfaction and pleasure. When man marries a woman this should not merely be a legal means of satisfying his sexual urges, but should be fulfillment of the first commandment in the Torah. When having marital relations with one’s wife, the object should not be to satisfy one’s libido. The words: איש איש אל כל שאר בשרו refer to his wife as being שאר בשרו. The words: לא תקרבו לגלות ערוה, mean that when you engage in intimate relations with your wife you are not do so only for the purpose of satisfying your sexual urges. The reason why the verse concludes with the words: אני ה', is a reminder that even while engaging in the most physical act, one not only legally condoned by G’d but commanded by Him, you should never forget that you are doing so in order to fulfill one of His commandments.
