In the [[Hebrew Bible]] and [[Halakha|Jewish religious law]], a '''''mamzer''''' ({{lang-he|ממזר}}, {{abbr|lit.|literally}}, "estranged person"; plural ''mamzerim'') is a person who is born as the result of certain [[Forbidden relationships in Judaism|forbidden relationships]] or [[incest in the Bible|incest]] (as it is defined by the [[Bible]]), or the descendant of such a person. Mamzer status ({{lang-he|ממזרות|mamzerut|label=none}}) is not synonymous with the traditional western definition of [[Legitimacy (family law)|illegitimacy]], since it does not include children born to unmarried mothers.<ref>[[Mishnah]] ''Yebamot'' 4:13; [[Babylonian Talmud]], ''Yebamot'' 49a</ref>
