Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

Neither shalt thou lie with any beast ... Such abominations were connected with the animal worship of Egypt (see 'Diodorus,' 1:, 85: 'Herodotus,' b. 2:, ch. 46:: and though Wilkinson and others have laboured to palliate or, deny the charge, the testimony of the Greek historians is fully substantiated (cf. Dollinger, pp. 226, 227).
