The Hebrew nouns which are translated as 'whore' and 'harlot' in the KJV refer to a professional or unmarried prostitute when about a human (cities and maybe nations and maybe groups [of people] are called 'spiritual whores', but not an individual human that I can tell), in my opinion. The Hebrew noun Zonah is the one translated as 'whore' or 'harlot' most often in the KJV. If you read Lev 19:29 'Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore, lest the land fall to whoredom and the land become full of wickedness' implies a 'whore' is a prostitute. Deut 23:18 ('hire of a whore') implies a 'whore' is a prostitute. Ezekiel 16:33, 'They give gifts to all whores' has to mean something. The implication is that whores are prostitutes. Micah 1:7 'hire of an
harlot" implies a 'harlot' is a prostitute. Isaiah 23:15-18, 'sing as an harlot', 'harlot', 'her hire', her merchandise', 'her hire', 'her merchandise' implies a 'harlot' is a prostitute. Joel 3:4, 'the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavored harlot', 'selleth', and 'her whoredoms' implies a 'harlot' is a prostitute. Isaiah 1:21-23, 'harlot' and 'gifts' and 'rewards' implies a 'harlot' is a prostitute. Proverbs 29:3 'he that keepeth company with
harlots spendeth his substance' implies 'harlots' are prostitutes. This is consistent with Luke 15:30 and the parable of the prodigal son and words 'devoured thy living with harlots', with 'harlots' implying prostitutes. In Revelation, the 'great whore' sounds like a prostitute, in Rev 17:1,15 with the words 'great whore' and 'And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.' A prostitute 'gets around', that she has influence over peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues sound like words about a female prostitute, not a female fornicator or a 'girlfriend'. In 1 Cor 6:16 there is mention of 'members of Christ' becoming 'members of a harlot'. Christ has many members, and a harlot has many members. Does a harlot sound like a female fornicator or a female prostitute in that verse? 1 Cor 6:19 mentions a Christian's body being the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is consistent with 'harlot' being a 'temple prostitute' in 1 Cor 6:19, or at least some kind of prostitute. One of the better evidences that 'harlot' means 'prostitute' is Hebrews 11:31, James 2:25 where Rahab is called a 'porne; or harlot or whore or prostitute in Greek, the Hebrew has 'zonah' or or harlot or whore or prostitute, and the LXX ('Septuagint') has 'porne' (whore/harlot/prostitute) in Joshua 6:17, 25.In Proverbs itself, evidence 'zonah' means a professional or unmarried prostitute is there. Prov 6:26, 7:10, 23:27, 29:3 (plural) are evidences. Is the attire of an harlot (Prov 7:10) one of1) a female who has had sex outside of marriageor
2) a female fornicator
or
3) a female prostitute
?
If I quote you the words a 'strange' or 'foreign' or 'estranged woman (Prov 7:5), 'with the attire of an harlot', 'in the streets', 'and lieth in wait at every corner', (Prov 7:10-12), does the attire of an harlot sound like
1) a female who has had sex outside of marriageor
2) a female fornicator
or
3) a female prostitute
?
