18 As for[a] a man who lies with a menstruating woman, he exposes[b] her nakedness—her source he exposes and she herself reveals her blood’s source—both of them shall be cut off from the midst of their people. 19 And you shall not expose the nakedness of your mother’s sister, and you shall not expose your father’s sister, because such a person[c] has dishonored his close relative—they must bear their guilt. 20 As for[d] a man who lies with his aunt, he has exposed his uncle’s nakedness—they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
