The Hebrew word toebah, here translated abomination, does not usually signify something intrinsically evil, like rape or theft , but something which is ritually unclean for Jews, like eating pork or engaging in intercourse during menstruation, both of which are prohibited in these same chapters (of Leviticus).So why would God have prescribed death for those who commit this particular toebah or abomination, as Leviticus 20:13 makes plain, and Ezekiel 16:50 also makes plain?
Scratch post #37; I did read to the end. (Finally.)
I have to stand by my criticism of Boswell in particular, though.
