¹ tn See the note on v. 20 above.

² tn Heb “to copulate with it” (cf. Lev 20:16).

³ tn The Hebrew term תֶּבֶל (tevel, “perversion”) derives from the verb “to mix; to confuse” and therefore refers to illegitimate mixtures of species or violation of the natural order of things.

⁴ tn Heb “[as the] lyings of a woman.” The specific reference here is to homosexual intercourse between males.
