Leviticus 18:7-17

7You are not to violate the intimacy that belongs to your father and mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual intercourse with her.

8You are not to have sex with your father’s wife; she is your father’s family.

9You are not to have sexual intercourse with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s, whether born at home or born elsewhere. You are not to have sex with her.

10You are not to have sexual intercourse with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for they are your family.

11You are not to have sexual intercourse with your father’s wife’s daughter, who is adopted by your father; she is your sister.

12You are not to have sexual intercourse with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.

13You are not to have sexual intercourse with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.

14You are not to violate the intimacy that belongs to your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual intercourse; she is your aunt.

15You are not to have sexual intercourse with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sex with her.

16You are not to have sexual intercourse with your brother’s wife; she is your brother’s family.

17You are not to have sexual intercourse with a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sex with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.
