17 Thou shalt not discover the shame of the wife and of her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, nor her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her shame: for they are thy kinsfolks, and it were wickedness.

18 Also thou shalt not take a wife with her sister, during her life to [a]vex her, in uncovering her shame upon her.

19 (A) Thou shalt not also go unto a woman to uncover her shame, as long as she is put [b]apart for her disease.
