Leviticus 20:1-27, Chiastic structure (Additional studies: Leviticus Index)
This passage is one of the sore spot passages in Torah, that people turn to when they make a case that the God of the Old Testament is vengeful, wrathful, angry, and judgmental. Some wickedness is so heinous that the only just and merciful course is capital punishment. God is smarter than we are, and He understands the long term effects, over the course of several generations, that allowing these behaviors to flourish in a society has. We are on the front end of a society which allows some of these. We do not know what the end result of our little societal experiment in flaunting God’s standards will be. Our great- great- grandchildren may very well, through the grief of experience, realize what merciful wisdom it would have been if we had paid heed to YHVH’s statutes.
