22 16. Incest with thy brother's wife thou shalt not commit: it is incest with thy brother.

17. Incest thou shalt not commit with a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to commit incest with her: for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

18. Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, even though one after the other, to commit incest with her, to vex her in her life.
