Leviticus 18:6-8

Amplified Bible

⁶‘^[a]No one shall approach any blood relative of his ^[b]to uncover nakedness (have intimate relations). I am the Lord. ⁷You shall not uncover the ^[c]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.

Footnotes

Leviticus 18:6 This passage (vv 6-18) states incestuous prohibitions.
Leviticus 18:6 This Hebrew euphemism for sexual relations occurs in each verse in the passage.
Leviticus 18:7 The father’s nakedness is a reference to his wife in her role as his sexual partner, i.e. the nakedness that belongs to him alone by virtue of their marriage (cf 1 Cor 7:4). Otherwise, the literal meaning would refer to intimate relations with the father himself, including homosexuality. The text itself states that this is not the meaning, especially in 20:11a (The man who lies...has uncovered his father’s nakedness).
