Leviticus 20:17

וְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר ־ יִקַּח אֶת ־ אֲחֹתוֹ בַּת ־ אָבִיו אוֹ בַת ־ אִמּוֹ וְרָאָה אֶת ־ עֶרְוָתָהּ וְהִֽיא ־ תִרְאֶה אֶת ־ עֶרְוָתוֹ חֶסֶד הוּא וְנִכְרְתוּ לְעֵינֵי בְּנֵי עַמָּם עֶרְוַת אֲחֹתוֹ גִּלָּה עֲוֺנוֹ יִשָּֽׂא ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
