I would agree with you that both parties are condemned by these verses; this
is not the problem that I am seeking to address. Rather, I am concerned with
whom the verse is addressing, the passive or active partner? Jerome Walsh's
remarks were published in 2001, i.e. the syntax with its use the cognate
object would point towards the passive partner being the subject, not the
active as it is traditionally understood. I was wondering if his analysis
would hold up with everyone here? Of course, Rabbi Akiba's niphal punctuation
would work with the first instance of mishkav, "do not be laid." But I'm not
sure that it would in the second instance of mishkav isha, "the lyings of a
woman."
