“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. The death penalty for male same-sex intercourse (prohibited in Leviticus 18:22) is applied to both parties. The detestable evaluation is consistent with the Leviticus 18:22 evaluation. The bilateral penalty communicates the equal responsibility of both parties.
