...although it would still be considered incest
Whilst I agree that the article needs expanding, the material about the descendants of Adam and Eve belongs in a different article. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:55, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

== ...although it would still be considered [[incest]] ==
What does this phrase (that was removed from the article) mean?
* That it was still immoral? No, that's already been answered in the article.
* That it still involves sex between closely-related people? That's already been said.
* That it still involves someone forcing their affections on someone else (as a father on a daughter)? No, that's not what incest actually means (although it frequently has that connotation), and that is not the situation here.
So I see no reason for that phrase being in there.
I'm not happy about the reference to intercourse with Eve (besides, why not a daughter with Adam), as that would be adultery, but between married brother and sister it would have been okay at the time.
