    Idk it sounds like it would be a huge translation error if it was so

    Leviticus 20:13

    13 If a man lies with another man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood guilt shall be upon them.

        This is a case of modern morals trying to square a round hole.

        Here’s what the new American Bible standard says (which is considered the most accurate English translation by Bible scholars)

        If there is a man who sleeps with a male as those who sleep with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they must be put to death. They have brought their [j]own deaths upon themselves

        That’s it, not man and child but man and male. As in, lumping in homosexuality with pedophilia (that old chestnut).
