It was in fact Amnon who lusted after his half-sister Tamar (2 Samuel 3.1-2). Absolom was her full brother and slew Amnon, which was why he then fled to his father-in-law. Taking your sister or half-sister sexually is forbidden in Levitcus 20.17. The penalty was seemingly death. Seth and Cain clearly married their sisters, as did all the sons of Adam (Genesis 4-5) Abraham married his half-sister (Genesis 20.12). But that was before it was forbidden. There are known cases today of people who cohabit with their sisters. It is not usually illegal in the Western world but is frowned on by the church, and forbidden by God |
