#111 | Vayikra ch.20 - The Practices of the Nations
Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description
What is the prominence of idolatrous warnings in our chapter?
Why do we hear - twice - a list of abhorrent sexual practices?
And how does this relate to "Hukot Hagoy" - the notion of the ambient culture of Canaan.
Today we explain the unit of ch.18-20 and what it seeks to say about the Torah's ethical lifestyle in contrast to the degenerate ways of the Canaanite nations.
