Leviticus 20:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 ‘(A)If 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. 18 (B)If there is a man who lies with a [a]menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has [b]exposed the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 19 (C)You 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 [c]blood relative; they will bear their guilt.
