20:17 “‘If a man has sexual intercourse with ⁶  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. ⁷  He has exposed his sister’s nakedness; he will bear his punishment for iniquity. ⁸  20:18 If a man has sexual intercourse with a menstruating woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her fountain of blood and she has exposed the fountain of her blood, so both of them ⁹  must be cut off from the midst of their people.
