Leviticus 20:16 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 20:16

And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto,
&c.] 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.

Leviticus 20:16 In-Context

14 Yf a man take a wife ad hir mother thereto, it is wekednesse. Me shall burne with fire both him and them, that there be no wekednesse amonge you.
15 Yf a man lye with a beest he shall dye, and ye shall slee the beest.
16 Yf a woma go vnto a beest ad lye doune thereto: thou shalt kyll the woma ad the beest also they shal dye, ad their bloud be apo their hedes
17 Yf a ma take his syster his fathers doughter or his mothers doughter, ad se hir secrettes, and she se his secrettes also: it is a weked thinge. Therfore let them perish in the syghte of their people, he hath sene his systers secretnesse, he shall therfore bere his synne.
18 Yf a man lye with a woman in tyme of hyr naturall disease and unheale hir secrettes and vncouer hir fountayne, ad she also open the fountayne of hir bloude, they shall both perishe from amonge their people.
