Leviticus 18:23 Commentary - Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers (Old and New Testaments)
(23) Any beast.—The necessity for the prohibition of this shocking crime, for which the Mosaic law enacts the penalty of death (see Lev. 20:15-16; Exo. 22:18), will appear all the more important when it is borne in mind that this degrading practice actually formed a part of the religious worship of the Egyptians in connection with the goat deities.
