It's funny how incest is actually a sin but there is some in the bible

There is A LOT of incest in the Bible. It begins with the Adam & Eve story

Where does it say it's a sin? Not condoning it, just don't think it's biblical. Hell, Abraham married his half-sister and he's pretty high up the biblical hierarchy

Idk why you got downvoted, it's an understandable question.

Thanks. Seems like Lev 18:6 would have covered it. Lev 18:26-27 also covers those that did it in their history. It's a shame the way it's translated into KJV, though. Having Jewish friends, I don't trust this interpretation, knowing the division/contention of 18:22.

Personally, I don't trust the bible overall due to the various mistranslations. I wish people would actually study it instead of reading a modern verse and just accepting it at face value right away.
