  Harlot
     (1.) Heb. zonah (Gen. 34:31; 38:15). In verses 21, 22 the Hebrew
     word used in _kedeshah_, i.e., a woman consecrated or devoted to
     prostitution in connection with the abominable worship of
     Asherah or Astarte, the Syrian Venus. This word is also used in
     Deut. 23:17; Hos. 4:14. Thus Tamar sat by the wayside as a
     consecrated kedeshah.
     
       It has been attempted to show that Rahab, usually called a
     "harlot" (Josh. 2:1; 6:17; Heb. 11:31; James 2:25), was only an
     innkeeper. This interpretation, however, cannot be maintained.
     
       Jephthah's mother is called a "strange woman" (Judg. 11:2).
     This, however, merely denotes that she was of foreign
     extraction.
     
       In the time of Solomon harlots appeared openly in the streets,
     and he solemnly warns against association with them (Prov. 7:12;
     9:14. See also Jer. 3:2; Ezek. 16:24, 25, 31). The Revised
     Version, following the LXX., has "and the harlots washed," etc.,
     instead of the rendering of the Authorized Version, "now they
     washed," of 1 Kings 22:38.
     
       To commit fornication is metaphorically used for to practice
     idolatry (Jer. 3:1; Ezek. 16:15; Hos. throughout); hence
     Jerusalem is spoken of as a harlot (Isa. 1:21).
     
       (2.) Heb. nokriyah, the "strange woman" (1 Kings 11:1; Prov.
     5:20; 7:5; 23:27). Those so designated were Canaanites and other
     Gentiles (Josh. 23:13). To the same class belonged the
     "foolish", i.e., the sinful, "woman."
     
       In the New Testament the Greek pornai, plural, "harlots,"
     occurs in Matt. 21:31,32, where they are classed with publicans;
     Luke 15:30; 1 Cor. 6:15,16; Heb. 11:31; James 2:25. It is used
     symbolically in Rev. 17:1, 5, 15, 16; 19:2.
