From: SL7COYes@mail.com LEVITICUS Vayikra – 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a woman. [רביעי כשהן מחוברין] כב וְאֶ֨ת־זָכָ֔ר לֹ֥א תִשְׁכַּ֖ב מִשְׁכְּבֵ֣י אִשָּׁ֑ה תּֽוֹעֵבָ֖ה הִֽוא: The Torah makes it clear that homosexuality is an abomination. Any adult who committed this sin intentionally and with full knowledge of what he was doing was stoned to death. If he had no prior warning, the consequence was excision; if this sin was committed mistakenly, a sin offering had to be brought. COMMENTATORS Ibn Ezra: Homosexual relationships are forbidden because they are a perversion of nature and an act of disobedience to the will of G-d. In sex relationships, G-d intended man to be a giver, and the women receiver. He then cites the following statements by other authorities relating to this prohibition: (1) a man must not have sexual relations with a man who has changed his sex and become a woman; (2) a man must not have sexual relations with a hermaphrodite. (Ibn Ezra holds that sexual relations between persons of the same sex, or between humans and animals, are forbidden because they cannot produce offspring. These sexual relations therefore represent “spilling ones seed in vain.”) Namanides: Homosexual relations are forbidden because they are repulsive and because the cannot result in offspring.

Deuteronomy Devarim - 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for all who do so are abomination to the L-rd your G-d. ס ה לֹא־יִֽהְיֶ֤ה כְלִי־גֶ֨בֶר֙ ע ל־אִשָּׁ֔ה וְלֹֽא־יִלְבַּ֥שׁ גֶּ֖בֶר שִׂמְלַ֣ת אִשָּׁ֑ה כִּ֧י תֽוֹעֲבַ֛ת יְהוָֹ֥ה אֱ ֹהֶי֖ךָ כָּל־עֹ֥שֵׂה אֵֽלֶּה: The Torah teaches us that the distinction between the sexes was part of the Divine plan of creation, when the bodies of man and woman are given certain visibly distinguishable characteristics. Any attempt to conceal these differences amounts to a virtual defiance or denial of G-d’s purpose. A man is forbidden to dress in a woman’s garb. He is restrained from shaving his face when it is done for the purpose of appearing feminine, or to bedeck himself with jewelry worn by women. A woman, too should not dress herself in men’s clothing or in military armor, or employ any other means of appearing mascline. The Rabbis included in this injunction the prohabition of a man pulling out grey hairs from his head in order to appear more youthful. Even if a man dyes his hair so as to retain his youthful apperance, he is violating this law. In all instances, such a violation calls for a penalty of lashes. COMMENTATORS Nahmanides, Rashbam: A woman who dresses in armor like a man going into battle will be led into a life of lewdness. A man who dresses like a woman employs this ruse in order to be able to mix freely with women in order to seduce them. This same principle also applies to a woman who dresses in a man’s clothing. Abrabanel: The wearing of a woman’s clothes by a man or a man’s clothes by a woman will lead to homosexuality. Hinnukh: Anything that symbolizes lewdness, such as a man dressing as a woman and a woman dressing as a man, falls under the general category of sexual immorality and is forbidden. Radbaz: In the sociological relationship between husband and wife, it was intended both by nature and temperamant that the wife shoud be somewhat subservient to the husband. If this is so, it is understandable why a man should not dress like a women, because this would indicate a degradation. But why should a woman dressing like a man be condemned? Is she not attempting to upgrade herself? He answers that when two souls are lowered upon the earth, one of a woman and the other of a man, G-d intended them to remain distinctive in their phyiscal make-up and external appearance. Any change in this pattern would be counteracting G-d’s design and is therefore forbidden, irrespective of whether it is upgrading or downgrading. References: B. Nazir 59a; B Shabbat 94b; B.
