Deuteronomy 22:5

Context

22:5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, 1  nor should a man dress up in women’s clothing, for anyone who does this is offensive 2  to the Lord your God.

1 tn Heb “a man’s clothing.”

2 tn The Hebrew term תּוֹעֵבָה (toevah, “offense”) speaks of anything that runs counter to ritual or moral order, especially (in the OT) to divine standards. Cross-dressing in this covenant context may suggest homosexuality, fertility cult ritual, or some other forbidden practice.
