הזהירנו מגלות ערות אשה ובתה. והוא אמרו יתברך ערות אשה ובתה לא תגלה. והעובר על לאו זה והוא שתהיה אחת מהן אשתו ויבעול האחרת חייב שריפה. ואם לא נחקרה העדות בכרת אם היה מזיד. ואם היה שוגג יקריב חטאת קבועה:

Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf

He prohibited us from sexual intercourse with a woman and her daughter. And that is His, may He be blessed, saying, "The nakedness of a woman and her daughter you shall not uncover" (Leviticus 18:17). And one who transgresses this negative commandment volitionally - and that is when one of them is his wife and he has sexual intercourse with the other - is liable for burning. But if the testimony was not ratified, it is with excision if it was volitional. And if he was inadvertent, he must sacrifice a fixed sin-offering.
