17. और यदि कोई अपनी बहिन का, चाहे उसकी संगी बहिन हो चाहे सौतेली, उसका नग्न तन देखे, तो वह निन्दित बात है, वे दोनों अपने जाति भाइयों की आंखों के साम्हने नाश किए जाएं; क्योंकि जो अपनी बहिन का तन उघाड़नेवाला ठहरेगा उसे अपने अधर्म का भार स्वयं उठाना पड़ेगा।
17. ''If a man has sexual intercourse with his sister, whether the daughter of his father or his mother, so that he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has exposed his sister's nakedness; he will bear his punishment for iniquity.
