“None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none of the sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute.

NLTNew Living Translation

“No Israelite, whether man or woman, may become a temple prostitute. When you are bringing an offering to fulfill a vow, you must not bring to the house of the Lord your God any offering from the earnings of a prostitute, whether a man or a woman, for both are detestable to the Lord your God.
