"... In Sirach 20:4 it is probable that the eunuch, while emasculated, was still capable of sexual intercourse, and has violated a young woman ('a eunuch's desire to violate a young woman/girl; so is the one who executes judgments by force'). Even though the usual word for virgin is not used here, and we do not know anything about the woman's chastity, the deed of the eunuch is similar to rape, an abuse, and the betrayal of trust, considering the role of eunuchs as guardians of harems, where the women were necessarily not virgins. Judges also had responsibility towards others. If they executed judgment by force it was also an abuse. The situation in Sirach 30:20 seems different ('With his eyes [he sees and groans], like a [eunuch] who embraces a young woman and sighs/groans. So is the one who does judgment under compulsion.'). It describes a eunuch embracing a young woman, but probably not able to have sexual intercourse. Otherwise the analogy with the idol (30:19b) could not be played out. The word does not necessarily mean 'virgin' here. An idol who cannot enjoy the food offering (30:19a) that is brought before it (A reference to drink and grain offerings for idols is found in Isaiah 57:6. References to the condemnation of idols and their makers are found in Deuteronomy 4:28; Psalm 115:47; Isaiah 44:9-11) is compared to the person who is 'punished by the Lord' (30:19) ..."
