Leviticus 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 18:19

Also thou shall not approach unto a woman
Not even a man to his own wife, and much less to another woman: to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her
uncleanness;
in her monthly courses; and the time of her separation from her husband on that account was seven days, ( Leviticus 15:19 ) ; if a man lay with a woman when in such circumstances, they were both to be cut off from their people, ( Leviticus 20:18 ) ; and such an action is reckoned among sins, and uncleanness of the worst sort, ( Ezekiel 22:10 ) .

Leviticus 18:19 In-Context

17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, and you shall not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover her nakedness; they are your near kinswomen; it is wickedness.
18 And you shall not take a woman as a rival wife to her sister, uncovering her nakedness while her sister is yet alive.
19 "You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness.
20 And you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.
21 You shall not give any of your children to devote them by fire to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
