Not to indulge in familiarities with relatives, such as kissing, embracing, winking, skipping, which may lead to incest, as it is said, “None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness” (Lev. 18:6). It is learnt by tradition that this text is a prohibition of any familiarity that may lead to incest.
