“‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s

his iniquity.

English Translation
And a man who takes his sister, his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness—it is a disgrace; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his guilt.
