Unfortunately not mistranslated, but for sure another outdated thing to ignore. I heard it was probably discouraging people from joining a nearby cult thing in Egypt that had male male acts, which sounds like it was more about religious competition than homosexuality, but I’m no expert.
Iirc, the hebrew word that gets translated to ‘lay’ is also a pretty suspect translation. Its only other usage in the OT (and our only other known context for it) is to describe a man pursuing his wife’s servant, and contextually, is more likely to mean ‘molest’ or ‘rape’ than to describe consensual sex.
The 2 words translated to ‘man’ are also different- the first being ‘ish’ the second being ‘zachar’
While both can generally refer to anyone male, ish can be used in the context of ‘anyone’, or ‘husband/ man of the house’, whereas Zachar is often used biblically to refer to young males, and /or subordinates.
So put together, this passage is likely ‘nobody should be molesting boys,’ or ‘a master shouldn’t rape his servants or children’
Considering how in the original Greek text of the New Testament the Apostles were all described as being between 10 and 19 years of age hanging out with 30-something year old Jesus, and how Jesus’ crucifixion was a result of him being caught in the middle of the night in the Garden of Gesthemane (Mark 14:51-52) with a naked boy, yeah I’d say they have a complicated relationship with gay molestation of the underage.
Certainly not the mainstream view taught in church but classical philologist Dr. Ammon Hillman has the receipts.
The “mistranslation” is a disgusting myth, the bible and the primitives who wrote it didn’t give a fuck about pedophilia and you should not spread this disgusting lie. Reported.
Ironically the verse was mistranslated- it was a man who lays with a boy

Except it was mistranslated? There’s been quite a few studies showing it
Nice try Ai Spy boy.

Of course it was. Of course Christianity took a line intended to protect children from abuse and “mistranslated” it to be homophobic.
Well it is also very important for Christians that molesting boys is just “oopsies” but not gay.
