Exegesis

The final toʼevah hi {תּוֹעֵבָה הִוא | tô-ʾê-vāh hūʾ} uses the copular pronoun to assert categorical moral judgment, with toevah conveying strong cultic condemnation. The English rendering shifts to SVO while preserving the Hebrew’s thematic object prominence and idiomatic structure.

And you shall not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abomination .
