Leviticus 18:6-18

Leviticus 18:6-18 CSB

“You are not to come near  any close relative  for sexual intercourse;  I am the LORD. You are not to violate the intimacy that belongs to your father  and mother.  She is your mother; you must not have sexual intercourse with her. You are not to have sex with your father’s wife;  she is your father’s family.  You are not to have sexual intercourse with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s,  whether born at home or born elsewhere. You are not to have sex with her. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for they are your family.  You are not to have sexual intercourse with your father’s wife’s daughter, who is adopted by  your father; she is your sister. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your father’s sister;  she is your father’s close relative. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your mother’s sister,  for she is your mother’s close relative. You are not to violate the intimacy that belongs to  your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual intercourse; she is your aunt.  You are not to have sexual intercourse with your daughter-in-law.  She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sex with her. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your brother’s wife; she is your brother’s family.  You are not to have sexual intercourse with a woman and her daughter.  You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sex with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.  You are not to marry a woman as a rival to her sister and have sexual intercourse with her during her sister’s lifetime.
