Leviticus 18:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 (A)Thou shalt not discover the shame of thy [a]brother’s wife: for it is thy brother’s shame.
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 [b]vex her, in uncovering her shame upon her.
