In context — Leviticus 20:17
If a man takes his sister, whether his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace . They shall be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people; for he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness, and he shall bear his iniquity.
