20 โ[1] ืืฉืจ ืืฉืื ืืช ืืืชื AND IF A MAN SHALL LIE WITH HIS AUNTโฆ [THEY SHALL DIE CHILDLESS] โ This verse is intended to teach that the "excision" mentioned above (18:29, where "all these abominations includes the union prohibited in v. 14 of that chapter) consists in their (the offendersโ) passing from this world childless.
โ[2] ืขืจืืจืื โ Translate this as the Targum renders it: ืืื ืืื, childless. Similar is, (Genesis 15:2) "and I will pass away childless (ืขืจืืจื)โ. If he has children he will bury them (i. e. they will die during his life-time); if he has no children when this sin is committed he will die childless (he will beget no children afterwards). That is why Scripture varies the expression in these two verses (this and the following) here stating ืขืจืืจืื ืืืชื, "they shall die childless", and there ืขืจืืจืื ืืืื, "they shall be childless". The expression ืขืจืืจืื ืืืชื implies: if he has any children at the time he commits the sin, he shall have none remaining when he dies because he will bury them during his lifetime; ืขืจืืจืื ืืืื on the other hand, implies: if he has no children at the time when he commits the sin, he shall remain all his life just as he was then (Sifra, Kedoshim, Chapter 12 7; Yevamot 55a).
