And that man which lieth with his daughter ⟨p. 25⟩in law, both of them nshall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion, their blood [shall be] upon them. And the man take a wife and her mother, [it is] wickedness: they shall burn both him and them with fire, that there be no wickedness among you. And if a man shall take his sister, his fathers daughter, or his mothers daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a owicked thing, and they shall be cut off in the sight pof their people; he hath uncovered his sisters nakedness, he shall bear his iniquity.

And if a man shall take his brothers wife, it is an unclean thing; he hath uncovered his brothers nakedness, they shall be childless.
