It seems sufficiently evident that the prohibitions in Lev. 18th include probi bitions of Marriage They were so understood by the Jews, and are so understood by Christians generally. The terms used are not, in themselves, applicable merely to unlawful intercourse between persons not married to each other - they are else where used with reference to marriages. Besides, if there be here no prohibition of incestuous marriages, such marriages are nowhere else forbidden, and thus a Jew might marry his nearest relatives without being guilty of incest. Although inter course with them was punished by death, if there was no marriage, yet if the par ties were married no punishment was infiicted It need scarcely be added that the wife whom a man is forbidden to marry means widow. Two men, father and son, or nephew and uncle cannot be supposed to have been married at the same time to the same wife. It is, obviously, the widow of the father and uncle whom the son and nephew are forbidden to marry. This is a common use of the word wife in other parts of Scripture.
