qrb merely means "draw near". its a bit eisegetical, it seems to me, to say
this is incest. in fact "drawing near" could be a little less evil. it can
imply proximity for any number of things. like "drawing near" to God- which
is hardly incest!

CD seems to me to be listing regulations for participants of the community-
one of them-- leave the family behind.

Best,
