Exegesis
The appositional identity clause eshet binkha hi {אֵשֶׁת בִּנְךָ הִוא | ʾēšeṯ binḵā hîʼ} ‘she is the wife of your son’ assigns her relational status, reinforcing the kinship prohibition. The repetition of the lo…tegalleh formula in the concluding clause serves an emphatic function by parallelism. In translation, the Hebrew construct chain is rendered with English possessive constructions, and the parallel structure is preserved to maintain the legal emphasis.
In context — Leviticus 18:15
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law ; she is the wife of your son, and you shall not uncover her nakedness .
