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.

15 If a man lie with a animal, he shall surely be put to death: and you shall kill the animal.

16 If a woman approach to any animal, and lie down thereto, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them.

17 If a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

18 If a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
