Ezekiel 22:10-11
10They have sex with their father’s wife within you; ▼▼ Heb “the nakedness of a father one uncovers within you.” The ancient versions read the verb as plural (“they uncover”). If the singular is retained, it must be taken as indefinite and representative of the entire group. The idiomatic expression “uncover the nakedness” refers here to sexual intercourse (cf. Lev 18:6). To uncover a father’s nakedness could include sexual relations with one’s own mother (Lev 18:7), but more likely it refers to having intercourse with another wife of one’s father, such as a stepmother (Lev 18:8; cf. Gen 35:22; 49:4).
they violate women during their menstrual period within you. ▼ 11One ▼▼ Heb “a man.”
commits an abominable act with his neighbor’s wife; another obscenely defiles his daughter-in-law; another violates ▼ his sister – his father’s daughter ▼ – within you.
