And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, &c.] The sin of adultery, which is an abominable sin; it is so to God, and it should be so to man: or, “a man hath committed”f335; some man of note, a great man; for this sin prevailed among the princes and nobles: or “everyone”; it being a general vice, which obtained among all ranks, high and low, rich and poor: and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; his wife’s daughter, or his son’s wife, contrary to (<031815>Leviticus 18:15,17): and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter: his own sister, begotten of the same father, though it may be not born of the same mother; yet the relation is too near for marriage; and besides, it is a rape that is here intended; and the uncovering of the nakedness of a sister, whether by father or mother’s side, whether born at home or abroad, is prohibited, (<031809>Leviticus 18:9), and some have thought that all these acts of uncleanness were committed in honour of their idols, and when they worshipped them on the mountains, (<262209>Ezekiel 22:9).
