7You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

8You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness.

9You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, born in the household or born outside it.

10You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter, for their nakedness is your own.
