The punishments for sin were harsh. They had to be, for intercourse with animals was obviously an everyday occurrence. Here are examples of punishments given by Moses in Leviticus 20:15-16: ‘And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt surely kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death ...' The ‘chosen people’ were finally to be freed from this sexual deviation, but only after spending forty years in quarantine in the wilderness.

But the same strict laws also applied to life in the promised land, according to Joshua 23:7 and 12-13: 'That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you... ‘If ye ... shall make marriages with them, and go into them, and they to you: sons the priests:
