17 “If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, so that he exposes her nakedness and she exposes his nakedness, it’s a shameful thing. They are to be eliminated from contact with their people[b] in front of their people’s children. He has exposed his sister’s nakedness. He’ll continue to bear responsibility for[c] his iniquity.
