Hebrew · Sifrei Devarim (Hebrew)איזהו ממזר? כל שאר בשר שהוא בלא יבא, דברי ר"ע, שנאמר לא יקח איש את אשת אביו, ולא יגלה כנף אביו [… לא יבא ממזר]. מה אשת אב מיוחדת, שאר בשר שהוא ב"לא יבא", והולד ממזר; כך כל שאר בשר שהוא בלא יבא, והולד ממזר.
English · Shraga SilversteinWho is a "mamzer"? All kin who are subsumed in "may not come." These are the words of R. Akiva. For it is written (Ibid. 1) "A man shall not take the wife of his father and he shall not uncover the lap of his father … (3) "A mamzer may not come, etc." Just as "the wife of his father" is distinct in being kin and subsumed in "may not come," and the child is a mamzer, so, in all who are thus characterized, the child is a mamzer.
