Too often the context of Leviticus is omitted…either due to intent or ignorance. Leviticus was written during a time when Israel was besieged on all sides by larger, more populace nations; when there was a fear of the Jewish people & culture being subsumed by the other groups & their neighbors. That’s why it insists upon harsh punishments for anything outside of Jewish traditions & laws, and punishments for anything that does not increase the population. (It’s almost like the “culture war” going on in the US, when white, hetero, “Christian” people are finding themselves becoming a minority.)
