¹⁹‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your ^(B)mother’s sister nor of your ^(C)father’s sister, for that would uncover his near of kin. They shall bear their guilt. ²⁰If a man lies with his ^(D)uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
