Lev 20:19-21 | MHM | STEP | vv. 19–21 : Other forbidden relationships, like a man with his aunt or brother’s wife, would not be punished with death but with barrenness. God says, “They shall die childless” (Leviticus 20:19-21 ). Those who break God’s marriage rules lose the blessings of marriage. Even if a person is not immediately punished, the guilt remains and will be judged by God one day (Hosea 4:10 ).
