הזהירנו מגלות ערות אשת אחי האב. והוא אמרו אל אשתו לא תקרב דודתך היא. והעובר על לאו זה במזיד חייב כרת, ובשוגג יביא חטאת קבועה:

Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf

He prohibited us from sexual intercourse with the wife of the father's brother. And that is His saying, "You shall not approach his wife, she is your aunt" (Leviticus 18:14). And one who transgresses this negative commandment volitionally is [punished] by excision. But [if] inadvertent, he must bring a fixed sin-offering.
