If a man marries his brother’s wife, that is impurity; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They will be childless.
In context
19Do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or your father’s sister, for that would expose a close relative; both will bear their guilt. 20If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they will bear their sin, and they will die childless. 21If a man marries his brother’s wife, that is impurity; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They will be childless. 22Keep all my statutes and all my regulations and carry them out, so that the land where I am bringing you to live does not vomit you out. 23Do not follow the customs of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.
