LEV 20:15 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

ClVg Qui cum jumento et pecore coierit, morte moriatur: pecus quoque occidite.[fn]
(Who when/with yumento and pecore coierit, death moriatur: cattle too killede. )

20.15 Qui cum jumento, etc. Nimia contra eos exercetur districtio, qui in tantum iniqui et libidini dediti, ut inaudita scelera concupiscerent: unde viris vel mulieribus commistis quadrupedibus, mortis pœnam indixit. Fidelibus quoque non erit hæc lex superflua, si quadrupedia voluntates pravas ad terram pronas intelligamus: quæ manus sicut homines non habent, quia omni humana actione carent, unde cognationes nobiscum non habent. Vir ergo vel mulier, quæ non languore naturæ, sed deliberatione eis cohæserit vel coierit, reus est mortis. Ipsi quoque mori dicuntur illis mortuis, neque enim per se subsistunt, nec ulla peccati substantia est, sed in peccatoribus operatur. AUG. Qui cum jumento, etc. Quæritur quomodo pecus reum sit, cum nec rationale nec legis capax sit? an quemadmodum transferuntur verba metaphorica ab animali ad animale; sicut dicitur ventus improbus, vel iratum mare, ita et hic translatum a rationali ad irrationale? Nam inde pecora jussa sunt interfici, quia tali flagitio contaminata indignam refricant memoriam facti.

20.15 Who when/with yumento, etc. Nimia on_the_contrary them exercetur districtio, who in/into/on only unjust and libidini he_gavei, as inaudita crimes concupiscerent: whence men or womanibus commistis quadrupedibus, of_death pœnam indixit. Fidelibus too not/no will_be these_things the_law unnecessary, when/but_if quadrupedia wishes pravas to the_earth/land pronas I_will_understandus: which hands like mans not/no they_have, because all humana actionne carent, whence kinships with_us not/no they_have. Man therefore or woman, which not/no languore of_nature, but deliberatione to_them cohæserit or coierit, guilty it_is of_death. Himself too mori are_said to_them mortuis, nor because through himself subsistunt, but_not ulla of_sin substantia it_is, but in/into/on sinnerbus workstur. AUG. Who when/with yumento, etc. Quæritur how cattle reum let_it_be, when/with but_not rationale but_not law capax let_it_be? an whichadmodum transferuntur words metaphorica away animali to animale; like it_is_said ventus improbus, or iratum the_sea, so/thus and this/here translatum from rationali to irrationale? For/Surely hence cattle yussa are interfici, because tali flagitio contaminata indignam refricant memory made.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִתֵּ֧ן שְׁכָבְתּ֛וֹ בִּבְהֵמָ֖ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,man which/who he/it_gave emission_of,him in/on/at/with,animal to_die he_must_die and=DOM the=cattle/livestock kill )

This is a euphemism for sexual activity. See how you translated the similar expressions in [18:20](../18/20.md) and [18:23](../18/23.md). Alternate translation: [And a man who has sexual relations with a livestock so that he ejaculates]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

מ֣וֹת יוּמָ֑ת

to_die he_must_die

See how you handled the similar expression in [20:2](../20/02.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

וְאֶת־ הַבְּהֵמָ֖ה תַּהֲרֹֽגוּ׃

(Some words not found in UHB: and,man which/who he/it_gave emission_of,him in/on/at/with,animal to_die he_must_die and=DOM the=cattle/livestock kill )

Here, you is plural. It refers to the people of Israel, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
