3. Mosebok 20,21

19 ‘Du skal ikke avdekke nakenheten til din mors søster eller din fars søster, for det ville vanære en nær slektning; begge skal bære sin skyld.

20 ‘Hvis en mann har seksuell omgang med sin tante, har han avdekket sin onkels nakenhet. De skal bære sin synd; de skal dø barnløse.

‘Hvis en mann gifter seg med sin brors kone, er det en handling av urenhet; han har avdekket sin brors nakenhet. De skal være barnløse.

22 ‘Hold alle mine forskrifter og lover og følg dem, så landet hvor jeg fører dere for å bo ikke skal spy dere ut.

23 Dere må ikke følge skikkene til de nasjonene jeg skal drive ut foran dere, for de gjorde alle disse tingene, og jeg avskydde dem.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
