17‘1If there is a manH376 whoH834 takesH3947 his sisterH269, his father’sH1 daughterH1323 orH176 his mother’sH517 daughterH1323, so that he seesH7200 her nakednessH6172 and she seesH7200 his nakednessH6172, it is a disgraceH2617; and they shall be cutH3772 offH3772 in the sightH5869 of the sonsH1121 of their peopleH5971. He has uncoveredH1540 his sister’sH269 nakednessH6172; he bearsH5375 his guiltH5771. 182If there is a manH376 whoH834 liesH7901 with a 3menstruousH1739 womanH802 and uncoversH1540 her nakednessH6172, he has laidH6168 bareH6168 her flowH4726, and she has 4exposedH1540 the flowH4726 of her bloodH1818; thus bothH8147 of them shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from amongH7130 their peopleH5971. 195You shall also not uncoverH1540 the nakednessH6172 of your mother’sH517 sisterH269 or of your father’sH1 sisterH269, for such a one has madeH6168 nakedH6168 his 6bloodH7607 relativeH7607; they will bearH5375 their guiltH5771. 207If there is a manH376 whoH834 liesH7901 with his uncle’sH1733 wifeH1733 he has uncoveredH1540 his uncle’sH1730 nakednessH6172; they will bearH5375 their sinH2399. They will dieH4191 childlessH6185. 218If there is a manH376 whoH834 takesH3947 his brother’sH251 wifeH802, it is 9abhorrentH5079; he has uncoveredH1540 his brother’sH251 nakednessH6172.
