NO. Sibling marriage, or incest, is forbidden by Jewish Law and Torah command, specifically Leviticus 18:9, which says (translation NIV): "Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere."

Bigamy where one male married two sisters (e.g. the wives were sisters of each other, but neither was a blood relative of the husband, such as the marriage in The Bible of Jacob to both Leah and Rachel, who were sisters) has a longer history in Jewish Law. However, with the Rabbinical prohibition of bigamy around the year 1000 C.E., this no longer exists.
