(Magda) Leviticus, 20:16
“If a woman approaches any beast and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the

(Sara) Leviticus, 21:9
“And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot,
profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire.”
(R.J.) Leviticus, 1:12
“And he shall cut it into pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest shall lay
them in order upon the wood that is on the fire upon the altar.”
