Exodus 22:19 meaning and explanation
Whoever lies with an animal must surely be put to death.
Exodus 22:19, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse belongs to the case laws Moses delivered to Israel at Mount Sinai, applying the covenant's call to holiness to specific offenses. Bestiality appears elsewhere in the Law as a defiling act (Leviticus 18:23; 20:15-16), and the penalty here matches its gravity: the offender is put to death.
