Lev. 18:7      Lev. 18:9

Leviticus 18:8

[Your father's wife]
You shall not uncover your father's wife's nakedness (have a sexual relationship with her),
she is your father's nakedness [because husband and wife are "one flesh," see Gen. 2:24; 49:4].
[This is thematically related to verse 12 – incest on your father's side of the family is forbidden. This was known as an illicit relationship long before the law, as in the case of Reuben, see Gen. 35:22. Even among pagans, this was not accepted, see 1 Cor. 5:1. Despite this, it was a deliberate sin on the part of David's son Absalom, see 2 Sam. 16:22.]
