20Cursed is he who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
Deu 27:20 lies with This (BDB 1011, KB 1486, Qal PARTICIPLE) is a euphemism for sexual relationship, usually of a restricted nature (i.e., incest, bestiality, or homosexuality, cf. Lev 20:11-13; Lev 20:18; Lev 20:20; Deu 27:20-23). Human sexuality is both a divine gift and a powerful urge. It must be defined and regulated for a peaceful, long-lasting society. For a good discussion of sexual regulations in ancient Israel see NIDOTTE, vol. 4, pp. 1198-1211.
Incest affected the stability of the home and family as well as the society. The exact persons from whom one is prohibited from marrying changes from culture to culture, but all cultures of the Ancient Near East (except the Egyptian royal family) have rules about incest!
father’s skirt This is a symbol of the act of marriage (cf. Deu 22:30; Lev 18:8). This is another violation of honor. It typifies sin as more and more for me at any cost!
