Imamat 19:29

19:29 Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, ⁴  so that the land does not practice prostitution and become full of lewdness. ⁵ 

[38:24]  ¹ tn Heb “it was told to Judah, saying.”

[38:24]  ² tn Or “has been sexually promiscuous.” The verb may refer here to loose or promiscuous activity, not necessarily prostitution.

[38:24]  ³ tn Heb “and also look, she is with child by prostitution.”

[19:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “to make her practice harlotry.” Some recent English versions regard this as religious or temple prostitution (cf. TEV, CEV).

[19:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the land become full of lewdness.” Regarding the term “lewdness,” see the note on Lev 18:17 above.
