22:17
מְכַשֵּׁפָה לֹא תְחַיֶּֽה׃
You shall not allow a witch to live.
You shall not allow a witch to live.
Rashi
22:18
כׇּל־שֹׁכֵב עִם־בְּהֵמָה מוֹת יוּמָֽת׃ {ס}
Whoever lies with an animal must be put to death.
Whoever lies with an animal must be put to death.
Rashi
(ס"א כל שוכב עם בהמה מות יומת. בסקילה, רובע כנרבעת, שכתוב בהן דמיהם בם:)
Whoever lies with an animal must be put to death — by stoning. Both man and woman [who are guilty are stoned], for it is written about them: “Their blood is upon them.”
מכשפה לא תחיה. אלא תומת בבית דין, ואחד זכרים ואחד נקבות, אלא שדבר הכתוב בהווה, שהנשים מצויות מכשפות (סנהדרין סז:):
You shall not allow a witch to live. But she must be put to death by the court. [This applies] whether they are male or female but the Torah [uses the feminine] because it speaks of what is usual, for it is women who are most commonly witches.
