    I think it’s interesting that that line is thought to be misinterpreted by Christians. Jewish people believe, and have quite a bit of evidence to support their ideas, that the line should be “A grown man shall not have sex with a young boy”. This is also known as “pederasty”.

    Here’s an article from The Jewish Standard about it that goes into far more detail than I can provide: https://jewishstandard.timesofisrael.com/redefining-leviticus-2013/

    And here’s a wikipedia article about pederasty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty

    Edit: Sorry that this got posted 4 times. I’m on fedia.io and it seems like it’s not correctly posting things. I think I removed all the other posts now.
