On the basis of the Scriptural command not to “come near ” any fleshly relation (in reality a law against incest), the rabbis ruled that a husband was not to walk behind his wife; nor should he converse with her in the marketplace. — Leviticus 18: 6.
Pühakirja käsu põhjal mitte ’ ligineda ’ ühelegi lihasele sugulasele (mis tegelikult oli verepilastusevastane seadus) tegid rabid korralduse, et mees ei tohi oma naise järel kõndida ega temaga turul vestelda.
