Lev 20:11 | MHM | STEP | vv. 11–12, 14, 17 : Some types of incest, such as a man lying with his father’s wife, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, or sister, are also punished by death (Leviticus 20:11,12,14,17 ). Reuben would have been punished if this law had existed in his time (Genesis 35:22 ). The apostle Paul spoke against such sins in the Corinthian church (1 Corinthians 5:1,5 ). These actions are very shameful and bring God’s severe punishment.
