Leviticus 20:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 (A)The man also that lieth with a woman having her [a]disease, and uncovereth her shame, and openeth her fountain, and she open the fountain of her blood, they shall be even both cut off from among their people.
19 Moreover, thou shalt not uncover the shame of thy mother’s sister, (B)nor of thy father’s sister: because he hath uncovered his [b]kin, they shall bear their iniquity.
20 Likewise the man that lieth with his father’s brother’s wife, and uncovereth his uncle’s shame: they shall bear their iniquity, and shall die [c]childless.
