Leviticus 20:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸^(A)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^(B)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. ²⁰^(C)If there is a man who lies with his uncle’s wife he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they will bear their sin. They will die childless.
