Exodus 22:19

"Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death."

This crime was a capital offense under the Old Covenant. The commandment here was repeated in Leviticus 20:15,16 and in Deuteronomy 27:21. Many of the pagans actually ascribed such actions to their god Baal! The Hittites (also in Canaan) "condemned to death those who practiced this unnatural act with a pig, but those doing it with a horse or mule were free of penalty."[18] It may come as a shock to some, but this form of sodomy (See Webster's Dictionary) is current in Houston, Texas this very day. This writer has served as a member of the Houston Housing Board of Appeals for the past dozen years, and quite recently, our Board approved the placement of a mobile home on a horse farm (within the city), so that a guard occupying the mobile home could prevent such unnatural acts with his mares. Our Board renewed that permit in May, 1984; and the appealant affirmed that his precautions had reduced but not eliminated the molestation of his stock!

Regarding the death penalty, declared by God to be deserved by such sinners, this is in the same category as witchcraft. Civilized states have made their own rules about things such as this, but we can be certain that the eternal judgment of God will enforce whatever penalties are just upon evil men who never repent and never turn to Christ for forgiveness.
