יחזקאל, פרק כ״ב, פסוק י״א

A profound collapse of moral boundaries within both society and the family unit is brought to light, marked by severe acts of adultery, incest, and sexual coercion. Rather than pointing to isolated incidents, the accounts indicate that these corrupt actions grew into a widespread phenomenon across the population [רד״ק].

The breakdown of trust extended into the closest social circles, taking the form of adultery committed with a neighbor's wife [מצודת דוד]. Furthermore, the violation of a daughter-in-law is described as an act rooted deeply in wicked and lewd thoughts [מצודת דוד].

This moral decay reached its darkest point with incestuous acts committed inside the family. These violations were frequently carried out through force and rape [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Such abuse typically occurred within the private walls of the home, such as an older brother assaulting his young, unmarried sister while they still lived together under their father's roof. Because of the deeply traumatic nature of this domestic betrayal, the sin is specifically characterized as an act of severe affliction and suffering [רד״ק, ביאור שטיינזלץ].
