Leviticus 18:23 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.

Ver. 23. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast.] See what a foul sink of sin man's nature is! Who would think that any such surpassing wickedness - so a Aristotle calls bestiality - should ever enter into man's heart? But "there, as in the sea, is that Leviathan," the devil, and there are "creeping things," abominable and ugly lusts, "innumerable." b
