The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy
daughter's
daughter
A man might not marry his granddaughter, whether a descendant of
his son or of his daughter, nor any further off descending from
him in a right line, not his great-granddaughter, and so on; and
if he might not marry his granddaughter, much less his own
daughter, as Jarchi observes, for the relation is still nearer;
therefore that being prohibited, this in course must, though not
mentioned: [even] their nakedness thou shalt not
uncover;
neither debauch nor marry such an one: for theirs [is]
thine own nakedness;
which sprung from his, being the descendants either of his son or
daughter; the Targum of Jonathan is,
``for they are as thy nakedness,''his own flesh and blood.
