Si una mujer se acerca a un animal para que este se aparee con ella, matarás a la mujer y al animal. Se les dará muerte sin falta; su sangre recaerá sobre ellos.
Si une femme s'approche d'une bête, pour se prostituer à elle, tu tueras la femme et la bête; elles seront mises à mort: leur sang retombera sur elles.
Parimente, se alcuna donna si accosta ad alcuna bestia, per farsi coprire, uccidi la donna, e la bestia; del tutto facciansi morire; sia il lor sangue sopra loro.
Também a mulher que se chegar a algum animal, para ajuntar-se com ele, aquela mulher matarás bem assim como o animal; certamente morrerão; o seu sangue será sobre eles.
