Leviticus 18:17

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness.

Thou shalt not uncover {H1540} the nakedness {H6172} of a woman {H802} and her daughter {H1323}, neither shalt thou take {H3947} her son's {H1121} daughter {H1323}, or her daughter's {H1323} daughter {H1323}, to uncover {H1540} her nakedness {H6172}; for they are her near kinswomen {H7608}: it is wickedness {H2154}.

"'You are not to have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter, nor are you to have sexual relations with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter; they are close relatives of hers, and it would be shameful.

You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
