Leviticus 18

⁶ None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.

⁷ You must not expose the nakedness of your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.

⁸ You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.

⁹ You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.

¹⁰ You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.
