The abomination thing is mentioned once, but the topic of homosexuality is is mention more than once.

http://carm.org/bible-homosexuality

This passage in particular is fairly specific:

Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them."

The word "homosexual" was first used in the very late in 19th century CE. There was no Hebrew word that meant "homosexual." Thus, whenever the word is seen in an English translation of the Bible, one should be wary that the translators might be inserting their own prejudices into the text.

National Gay Pentecostal Alliance (NGPA) interpretation: The NGPA has produced a word-for-word translation of the original Hebrew. 4 In English, with minimal punctuation added, they rendered it as: "And with a male thou shalt not lie down in beds of a woman; it is an abomination. That is, "... rather than forbidding male homosexuality, it simply restricts where it may occur." This may seem a strange prohibition to us today, but was quite consistent with other laws in Leviticus which involve improper mixing of things that should be kept separate. e.g. ancient Hebrews were not allowed to mix two crops in the same field, or make cloth out of two different raw materials, or plow a field with an ox and a donkey yoked together. A woman's bed was her own. Only her husband was permitted there, and then only under certain circumstances. Any other use of her bed would be a defilement.

At the beginning of the chapter that includes this passage, Leviticus 18:3 states: "After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances." Here, God is saying that the Hebrews are not to follow the practices of the Egyptians or of the Canaanites. Homosexual ritual sex in temples of both countries was common. Thus, one might assume that Leviticus 18:22 relates to temple same-sex rituals -- something that was ritually impure.

There are a lot of ways to interpret this sentence. A lot. To act like yours is the only way is a bit shallow.

That is really fascinating. Thanks for posting it.

You're welcome.

IIRC, I think "the woman's bed was her own" had to do with the menstrual issue being considered unclean, and if a man touched his wife who wasn't pregnant, but menstruating, he was ritually unclean as a result. It's somewhere around that same passage, but I can't be bothered to look, LOL.

I also recall that this (segregation of menstruating women) is/was practiced in indigenous peoples around the world, so maybe it's an ingrained thing that got written down as law? Along with the other, necessary, laws I mean. (Don't kill, don't steal, don't sink everything you have into false idols.) The reasoning being, if a woman has her period, she's not pregnant, and so is "barren" which was never considered a good thing, in ancient times. Propagation of the species, and all that.

I think the menstruation taboo was more of a health issue that got out of hand just like most health issues did back then (remember, no such things as pads or tampons, and cloth pads and the like were not terribly advanced), combined with a lot of patriarchal "ewwww!" about something that men didn't experience, and since ~men~ didn't experience it, it was ~obviously~ "other" and creepy.

mostly this I think. and just the general mess of having noplace to put all that blood in a lot of situations.

About 80% of all those rules in the OT are at heart health issues - all the foods you're not supposed to eat are things that spoil very easily in the heat so you really shouldn't eat that stuff etc.

This is terrific, thanks for sharing. I was trying to remember the first bit, but it's been so long since I've read up on this stuff. :)
