Leviticus 18
1.Unlawful marriages and unlawful lusts














You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter
This command is part of a larger section inLeviticus 18 that outlines prohibited sexual relationships, emphasizing the importance of maintaining family purity and boundaries. The prohibition against incestuous relationships is rooted in the need to preserve the sanctity of the family unit, which is foundational to societal stability. In the ancient Near Eastern context, such relationships were often associated with pagan practices and were seen as defiling. The command reflects God's desire for His people to be set apart from surrounding nations, who may have engaged in such practices. This directive also underscores the importance of protecting the vulnerable, such as grandchildren, from exploitation and abuse. The broader biblical narrative consistently upholds the sanctity of family relationships, as seen inGenesis 2:24, which establishes the marital bond as the primary sexual relationship.

for that would shame your family
The concept of shame in biblical times was deeply tied to one's social standing and community reputation. In a collectivist society, the actions of an individual could bring honor or disgrace to the entire family. This phrase highlights the communal aspect of sin, where personal actions have broader implications for the family and community. The shame associated with such acts would not only affect the immediate family but could also lead to social ostracism and a breakdown of familial trust. This reflects the biblical principle that sin has consequences that extend beyond the individual, affecting relationships and community harmony. The New Testament echoes this sentiment, as seen in1 Corinthians 5:1-2, where the church is instructed to address sexual immorality to maintain the purity and witness of the community.

What Does Leviticus 18:10 Mean
You must not have sexual relations

The command is plain and direct. God draws a clear line around sexual intimacy, reserving it for the marriage covenant (Genesis 2:24;Hebrews 13:4). Any sexual act outside that boundary violates His holy design. By stating “You must not,” the Lord establishes absolute moral authority, not a negotiable guideline (Leviticus 18:4;1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).

Main takeaways:

• God Himself defines sexual purity; culture does not.

• Obedience to this boundary is part of honoring Him (John 14:15).

with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter

Here the focus narrows to grandchildren. Incestuous relationships disrupt the God-given structure of family, blurring roles meant to protect and nurture (Leviticus 18:6-9; 20:19;Deuteronomy 27:22). Sexualizing a grandchild exploits innocence and authority, turning a place of safety into danger (Psalm 127:3;Matthew 18:6).

Notice the double wording—“son’s daughter” and “daughter’s daughter.” The Spirit leaves no loophole; every grandchild is covered.

Why this matters:

• Generational trust is safeguarded when God’s order is upheld.

• The verse protects both genders equally, underscoring the intrinsic worth of every child (Genesis 1:27;Galatians 3:28).

for that would shame your family

Sin never stays private; it wounds households and communities (Numbers 32:23;Joshua 7:1). The Hebrew idea of “shame” carries the sense of uncovering nakedness and bringing disgrace (Leviticus 18:6). Such an act dishonors ancestors, devastates descendants, and invites judgment (Leviticus 18:29; 20:11-12;1 Corinthians 5:1-2).

Consequences highlighted elsewhere:

• Relational fallout—trust shattered, roles confused (2 Samuel 13:12-13).

• Spiritual contamination—defiling the land and provoking divine wrath (Leviticus 18:24-25;Psalm 106:39-40).

• Community discipline—Israel was to purge this evil (Deuteronomy 22:21;1 Corinthians 5:11-13).

Guardrails for today:

• Cultivate transparency and protection within families.

• Confront and report abuse; silence multiplies shame (Ephesians 5:11).

summary

Leviticus 18:10 literally forbids sexual intimacy between a grandparent and grandchild. The verse:

• Affirms God’s right to set absolute moral boundaries.

• Protects the vulnerable by outlawing incest in any form.

• Warns that such sin disgraces and destabilizes the entire family and invites divine judgment.

Living it out means honoring God’s design, safeguarding every generation, and responding decisively whenever these lines are crossed.

(10)The nakedness of thy son's daughter. From this prohibition it is inferred that a man must not marry his own daughter. If a granddaughter, who is a degree further removed from him, is proscribed, how much more his own daughter. Hence the canonical law during the second Temple deduced from this passage that "whoso companieth with a woman, even by way of fornication, and begetteth a daughter, she is forbidden to him." Still, when the mother is expressly forbidden to the son (seeLeviticus 18:7), it is strange that the daughter should have been passed over in silence, and be left to inference. It is therefore more than probable that a word has dropped out of the text, and that originally it stood here, "the nakedness of thy daughter and of thy son's daughter," &c. That this is not a solitary instance where the text has suffered from disarrangement we shall presently have occasion to see inLeviticus 18:11.

Verse 10. - The fourth case of incest which is prohibited is that with a granddaughter, whether the daughter of son or daughter, for, as they are descended from the grandfather,their's isthine own nakedness.
