Leviticus 20:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Moreover, thou shalt not uncover the shame of thy mother’s sister, (A)nor of thy father’s sister: because he hath uncovered his [a]kin, they shall bear their iniquity.
20 Likewise the man that lieth with his father’s brother’s wife, and uncovereth his uncle’s shame: they shall bear their iniquity, and shall die [b]childless.
21 So the man that taketh his brother’s wife, committeth filthiness, because he hath uncovered his brother’s [c]shame, they shall be childless.
