Exegesis
The verse employs a triadic parallelism introduced by veish {וְאִ֣ישׁ | wə-’îš} “and a man,” creating three coordinated clauses of wrongdoing.
In context — Ezekiel 22:11
In you one commits abomination with the wife of his neighbor; another defiles his daughter-in-law with lewdness ; another humiliates his sister, the daughter of his father, in you.
