Translation commentary on Deuteronomy 27:20

For this curse see 22.30; Lev 18.8.

The added words, her who is his father’s, emphasize that this is a grave sin because the man is violating his father’s rights. The Revised Standard Version footnote gives the literal Hebrew text. This information is of little help, if any, to the reader, and may be ignored.
