What does "Leviticus 18:10" mean?
Leviticus 18:10 prohibits sexual relations with one's granddaughter, either through one's son or daughter. The verse emphasizes the closeness of the relationship by stating that their "nakedness is your own nakedness," signifying they are considered part of the family unit, and therefore such a relationship is incestuous and forbidden.
In simpler terms:
Uncover the nakedness: This is a euphemism for engaging in sexual relations.
Son's daughter, daughter's daughter: These are your granddaughters.
Their nakedness is your own nakedness: This highlights the incredibly close family bond. It essentially says that violating them is violating yourself, emphasizing the taboo and familial betrayal.
The verse is part of a larger section (Leviticus 18) that lays out a number of forbidden sexual relationships, all centered around preventing incest and maintaining proper family structure. This verse reinforces the prohibition against sexual relations with very close relatives.
