God always ralks with metaphors and at the same time is very specific. The only people I know who have incest are the family of my ex, but who knows who else fills these criteria.
Yet also, it only says in you, you humble your sister- maybe that just means to make humble not sexually defile.
In any case here is a helpful list of the things God considers bad:
The word of Adonai came to me: “Now, human being, are you prepared to judge?
(God assigns this human being to judge.. wow.)
Are you prepared to judge the city drenched in blood?
Then make her realize how disgusting all her practices are!
Say that Adonai Elohim says, ‘City that sheds blood within yourself, thus speeding your own doom, and that makes idols for yourself that defile you: you are guilty because of the blood you have shed, you are defiled by your idols that you have made.
You have shortened your days, you have completed your years; therefore I have made you an object of scorn for the nations and a laughingstock for every country.
Those close by and those far off will taunt you, you who have such a defiled reputation and such great disorder.
“‘The leaders of Isra’el in you all use their power in order to shed blood.
In you, they make light of fathers and mothers, they oppress foreigners, they wrong orphans and widows.
You treat my holy things with contempt, you profane my shabbats.
In you, people gossip to the point of inciting bloodshed;
in you are those who go to eat on the mountains (pagan ritual);
In you, they commit lewd acts;
in you, they commit incest;
in you, they force themselves on women during their menstrual impurity.
In you, one commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife;
another commits some lewd act defiling his daughter-in-law;
still another humbles his sister, his own father’s daughter.
In you, people take bribes to shed blood;
you demand and accept interest on loans;
in greed you make profits off your neighbors by extorting them; and you have forgotten me,’ says Adonai Elohim .
“‘Therefore, I am clapping my hands together because of your ill-gotten gains and the blood shed in you.
Can your courage last, can your strength continue during the days when I deal with you? I, Adonai , have spoken it; and I will do it.
I will scatter you among the Goyim and disperse you throughout the countries; thus I will remove your defilement from you, and you will cause yourselves to be profaned in full view of the Goyim .
Then you will know that I am Adonai .’”
