Leviticus 20:17 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They shall be cut off in the sight of their people— Some, again, believe that this punishment implies that they shall be separated from the communion and covenant of Israel; and not, that they should be put to death. They think, that the punishments assigned in the other verses seem to prove this.

Leviticus 20:17

17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
