Leviticus 20:17-21
17‘1If there is a man who takes his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, so that he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he bears his guilt. 182If there is a man who lies with a 3menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has 4exposed the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 195You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has made naked his 6blood relative; they will bear their guilt. 207If there is a man who lies with his uncle’s wife he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they will bear their sin. They will die childless. 218If there is a man who takes his brother’s wife, it is 9abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They will be childless.
