You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.
Leviticus 18:9, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
In this verse God, speaking through Moses to the Israelites at Mount Sinai, forbids sexual relations with a sister. The wording covers a sister born to the same father or the same mother, and it applies whether she was raised in the same household or elsewhere, so distance or a different upbringing does not change the relationship.
