18 (A)If there is a man who sleeps with a menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood; so both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 19 (B)You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has uncovered his [a]blood relative; they will bear their guilt. 20 (C)If there is a man who sleeps with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they will bear their sin. They will die childless. 21 (D)If there is a man who takes his brother’s wife, it is [b]detestable; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They will be childless.

22 ‘You are therefore to keep all My statutes and all My ordinances, and do them, so that the land to which I am bringing you to [c]live will not (E)vomit you out.
