[9] The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or

the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover.

[10] The nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s

daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for theirs is your own nakedness.

[11] The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten

by 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 near of kin to your father.

[13] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is near of kin to your mother.

[14] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach 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; it is your brother’s nakedness.

[17] You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her

daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness.

[18] Nor shall you take a woman, as a rival to her sister, to

uncover her nakedness while the other is alive.
