Leviticus 18:7-18

7You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

8You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness.

9You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, either the daughter of your father or of your mother, whether born at home or born elsewhere.

10You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter; their nakedness you shall not uncover, for they are your own nakedness [that is, your own descendants].

11You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter; born to your father, she is your sister.

12You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is your father’s blood relative.

13You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s blood relative.

14You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother’s wife; you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt.

15You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

16You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness.

17You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to uncover their nakedness (have intimate relations with them); they are [her] blood relatives; it is an outrageous offense.

18You shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a rival while she is alive, to uncover her nakedness.
