Leviticus 20:13

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

If a man lie also with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,.... Is guilty of the sin of sodomy, this is a breach of the law in

Leviticus 18:22;

both of them have committed an abomination; he that lies, and he that is lain with, both consenting to perpetrate the abominable wickedness; which may well be called an abomination, being contrary to nature, and more than brutish, for nothing of that kind is to be found among brutes:

they shall surely be put to death; if he that is lain with is not forced, as Aben Ezra observes:

their blood [shall be] upon them; be slain by stoning, as the above Targum.
