DEUTERONOMY 23:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.”
None of the daughters of Israel shall be a temple prostitute; none of the sons of Israel shall be a temple prostitute — the kedesha and qadesh (shrine prostitutes) engaged in ritual sexuality are forbidden. This prohibition protects Israel's daughters and sons from commodification within religious contexts, maintaining human dignity against pagan cultic practices.
