Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

20:9-27 Because pagan worship affected ethics, the regulations for families follow immediately after those dealing with pagan religious practices. To some extent, the laws of this section replicate those of 18:6-30, which precede the section dealing with proper expressions of holiness (19:1-37). These were all related issues, as the proper worship of God led to proper conduct toward other people, while improper worship of God led to moral violations.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
וְאִשָּׁ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּקְרַ֤ב אֶל־ כָּל־ בְּהֵמָה֙ לְרִבְעָ֣ה אֹתָ֔הּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,woman which/who approaches to/towards all/each/any/every cattle/livestock to,sexual_relations DOM=her/it and,kill DOM the=woman and=DOM the=cattle/livestock to_die they_must_die blood,their in/on/at/with,them )
This is a polite but technical way of speaking of sexual activity between two animals. See how you translated a similar expression in 18:23. Alternate translation: “And a woman who draws near to any livestock to copulate with it” or “And a woman who draws near to any livestock to have sexual relations with it”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וְהָרַגְתָּ֥ אֶת־ הָאִשָּׁ֖ה וְאֶת־ הַבְּהֵמָ֑ה מ֥וֹת יוּמָ֖תוּ
and,kill DOM the=woman and=DOM the=cattle/livestock to_die they_must_die
These two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize that people of Israel are to execute the woman and kill the animal who engages in this behavior. The second phrase states the idea more explicitly while the second phrase uses a generic expression. You can translate this parallelism into one statement that conveys the seriousness of these actions. Alternate translation: “then you must execute the woman, yes, and even execute the livestock”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
מ֥וֹת יוּמָ֖תוּ
to_die they_must_die
See how you handled the similar expression in 20:2.
