Leviticus 18:6-18

New Catholic Bible

⁶ “ ‘None of you is to be intimate with any of your close relatives, to uncover their nakedness. I am the Lord. ⁷ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father or your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness. ⁸ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife, for her nakedness is like your father’s own nakedness. ⁹ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether she be the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether she be born in your household or elsewhere. ¹⁰ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter nor shall you uncover the nakedness of your daughter’s daughter, for their nakedness is like your own nakedness. ¹¹ You shall not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of your father’s wife, the daughter born of your father. She is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness. ¹² You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s close relation. ¹³ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister. She is your mother’s close relation. ¹⁴ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not be intimate with his wife; she is your aunt. ¹⁵ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness. ¹⁶ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. Her nakedness is like your brother’s nakedness.^{[a] 17} You shall not uncover the nakedness of both a woman and her daughter. Nor shall you uncover the nakedness of her son’s daughter nor her daughter’s daughter. They are her close relations. It would be shameful. ¹⁸ You shall not take the sister of your wife while she is still alive, uncovering her nakedness. They would be rivals.
