Lev 18:8 | NETfull | STEP | You must not have sexual intercourse with your father’s wife; she is your father’s nakedness.

Leviticus 18:8

8 You must not have sexual intercourse with your father’s wife; she is your father’s nakedness. ^{▼▼ Heb “the nakedness of your father she is.” See the note on v. 7 above. This law refers to another wife of the man’s father, who is not that man’s mother. The laws in the Pentateuch sometimes assume the possibility that a man may have more than one wife (cf., e.g., Deut 21:15–17).}
