Leviticus 20:17

[In the following section, it is God who punishes:]
If a man takes his sister as his wife,
his father's daughter
or his mother's daughter
and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful act. [Lev. 18:9]
They shall be cut off before their people. [The passive form indicates that God punishes him.]
He bears the guilt, because he has exposed his sister's nakedness.
