Karen’s Note: This section does NOT contain any comments, interpretations, nor possible explanations regarding the one controversal verse in the Bible that comments on crossdressing, Deuteronomy 22:5. Instead, this is just a listing of some of the different common English translations of this verse. Of course, since the Bible was originally written in Hebrew / Greek, one could argue that these translations are all indeed interpretations
