I don't think that's a correct translation. I've never seen the original text, but there isn't a word for homosexual, or even heterosexual for that matter, in old Hebrew...
There's a word for castrati. Maybe that's what they meant... Or maybe the word "abominators" which could apply to breaking other sins not mentioned. It's related to the word used in Leviticus, and doesn't really go into English very well. |
