Leviticus 20:19-21
New King James Version
19 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your (A)mother’s sister nor of your (B)father’s sister, for that would uncover his near of kin. They shall bear their guilt. 20 If a man lies with his (C)uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21 If a man takes his (D)brother’s wife, it is an [a]unclean thing. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.
