Leviticus 19-21
Mar. 17th, 2010 10:12 pmMore rules, repeating and rewriting the previous commandments and details of which sins require death.
* Some nice rules: leaving part of your harvest in the field and on the vine for the poor, not being mean to the deaf or blind, love thy neighbour as thyself (even strangers to your land) and don't prostitute your daughter.
* Another mention of that abominable act of lying with mankind as with a woman, this time there's a penalty of death for both men. However, there is also a penalty of death for both parties in adultery as well as for various degrees of incest. Oh and death for anyone lying with a beast, the beast has to die too.
* God doesn't want to see any funny looking or handicapped people in his sanctuary or they'll defile its holiness. That God guy is such a warm hearted and welcoming deity.
