Thanks for the great post Ron. I am intrigued by another question about Lev 20:13. Does it even say what we are told it says? If you look at the text in Hebrew, it says “(men), do not lie with a male in the lyings (mishkevei) of a woman.” Mishkevei is a gerund and means lyings; often but not always the m- on gerunds in Hebrew means a place, so in this case beds, bedrooms, couches etc. Besides the two occurrences in Leviticus, that exact word “mishekevei” occurs only one other time in the Old Testament, and in that verse (Gen 49:4 ) it definitely means “bed.”
