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).

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.
