Księga Kapłańska 20:16

Podobnie postąpicie z kobietą, która zbliży się do jakiegokolwiek zwierzęcia po to, aby się z nim parzyć: zabijecie tę kobietę i to zwierzę. Będą musieli umrzeć - sami będą ponosili winę za przelew własnej krwi.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

And if a woman: We are assured by Herodotus - in Euterp that the abominations here referred to existed among the Egyptians, and even formed part of their superstitious religious system, and we have reason to believe that they were not uncommon among the Canaanites. - See note on Leviticus 18:24, Leviticus 18:25. Need we wonder then, that God should have made laws of this nature, and appointed the punishment of death for these crimes? This one observation will account for many of those strange prohibitions which we find in the Mosaic law.

and the beast: Exodus 19:13, Exodus 21:28, Exodus 21:32, Hebrews 12:20

Reciprocal: Exodus 22:19 - General Leviticus 17:4 - be cut off Leviticus 18:23 - any beast Leviticus 20:9 - his blood Leviticus 24:15 - bear his sin 2 Samuel 1:16 - Thy blood

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto,.... In order that the beast may lie with her, and solicit it to commit such an action with her, see Leviticus 18:23;

thou shall kill the woman and the beast: the woman by stoning, and the beast with clubs, as the Targum of Jonathan; and this for the same reasons as before, as well as to prevent monstrous births:

they shall surely be put to death; both the one and the other, and not spared:

their blood [shall be] upon them; they are guilty of a capital crime, a crime which deserves death; this must be understood of the man that lies with a beast, and of the woman; for as for the beast itself, as it is not capable of sinning, so not of guilt, in a proper sense.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 20:16. If a woman approach unto any beast — We have the authority of one of the most eminent historians in the world, Herodotus, to say that this was a crime not unknown in Egypt; yea, that a case of this nature actually took place while he was there. Εγενετο δ' εν τῳ νο μῳ τουτῳ επ' εμευ τουτο το τερας, Γυναικι Τραγος εμισγετο αναφανδον. Τουτο ες επιδειξιν ανθρωπων απικετο. - Herod. in Euterp., p. 108. Edit. Gale, Lond. 1679.

"In this district, within my own recollection, this portentous business took place: a goat coupled so publicly with a woman that every person knew it," c. After this, need we wonder that God should have made laws of this nature, when it appears these abominations were not only practised among the Egyptians, but were parts of a superstitious religious system? This one observation will account for many of those strange prohibitions which we find in the Mosaic law others, the reasons of which are not so plain, we should see the propriety of equally, had we ampler historic records of the customs that existed in that country.
