WORD STUDY OF THE HEBREW (ZANAH) =PROMISCUOUS SINGLE FEMALE WITHOUT HUSBAND

THE HEBREW ZANAH proves that fornication is a                                                                                PROMISCUOUS SINGLE FEMALE WITHOUT HUSBAND
Mt  5:32 - But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away (Greek Apoluo) his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (porneia), causeth her to commit adultery (moicheia): and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery (moicheia). Does Zanah (fornication) in the Old Testament describe an unmarried girl/woman or a married woman? 



In the 3rd Century BC the Hebrew Manuscripts were translated into Greek by 70 scholars. This Greek translation is called the Septuagint (XXL).  These 70 scholars translated Zanah into Greek as “Porneia.” Zanah referred exclusively to a promiscuous unmarried girl or woman. The Latin Vulgate in the late 4th Century AD, translated Zanah into Latin as “Fornication.”   The Hebrew Torah (1400 BC) “Zanah,” the Septuagint (250 BC) “Porneia” and Vulgate (300 AD) “Fornication,” all refer an unmarried girl or woman

OT Deuteronomy 22:21 “She hath wrought folly in Israel by playing the harlot (or whore) in her father's house”                    Hebrew:             liz·nō·wṯ Z’nut, ZANAH 12th Century BC  -  Same verse translation of Zanah in the                 Greek XXL 3rd Century BC ekporneusai,  &  Latin Vulgate: 4th Century AD    fornicaretur  NT 4th Century Latin Vulgate, Matthew 5:31-32: excepta fornicationis causa, mœchari:, adulterat.   NT 4th Century Latin Vulgate,  Matthew 19:9 fornicationem, mœchatur.   NT 1st Century Greek, 16th Century English   Matthew 5:31-32, 19:9 “except for (Gr - Porneia) fornication.”  Both Zanah and Porne are used for RAHAB, the Harlot OT Joshua 2:1 Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly saying Go view the land even Jericho And they went and came into an harlot's (Hebrew Zanah2181) house, named Rahab and lodged there NT 1st Century Heb 11:31 - By faith the harlot (Greek Porne) Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.  Also Jas 2:25  Zanah, Fornication and Porneia are used interchangeably for 3000 years.  What did Zanah refer to in Old Testament times? An unmarried woman/girl or a married woman with a living husband?

USEAGE OF ZANAH IN LITERAL PHYSICAL EXAMPLES (All are without husbands)                                                       

1  DINAH, a girl. Genesis 34:31 -- defiled as one who “played the harlot ((Zanah).” 2  TAMAR a widow. (Genesis 38:24) she has conceived by whoring (Zanah)."   3  COZBI,  the Midianite daughter of Zur   Numbers 25:1 the people began to commit whoredom (Zanah) with the daughters of Moab.            4.BETROTHED WIFE- an unfaithful engaged bride who behaves like a harlot Deut. 22:21 “She hath wrought folly in Israel by playing the harlot (or whore -Zanah) in her father's house”                                                                                                                                                                  5 GOMER,   a prostitute, a living picture of Israel’s Whoredom Hosea 1:2, “The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea.  Go. Take unto thee a wife of harlotry (Zenunim 2183) and children of harlotry (Zanah 2181). “   She was a career prostitute, and Hosea accepted her non virgin status. 6 JEROBOAM’s WIFE or son’s wife, a Widow  Amos 7:17  “thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall be a harlot) (Zanah in the city, … and thou thyself shalt DIE.”                                                                                                      7 RAHAB the Harlot   The Hebrew-ZANAH and Greek-PORNE have the same meaning - HARLOT.
OT Joshua 2:1 an harlot's (Hebrew- Zanah 2181) house, named Rahab                                               NT Heb 11:31 Jas 2:25   the harlot (Greek-Porne 4204) Rahab  8 The Levite’s young Concubine who died from gang rape Judges 19:2  But his concubine played the harlot (Zanah 2181)                                                                                                                           9 JJEPHTHAL, son of a harlot Judges11:1 And Jephthah the Gileadite [was] a mighty man; and he [was] the son of a harlot, (Zanah 2181)                                                                                                                  10 SAMSON and the harlot, an inn-keeper.  Judges 16:1  Then went Samson to Gaza and saw there a woman (ishshah 802)  a harlot, ((Zanah 2181)                                                                           11 TWO HARLOTS & A BABY 1 Kings 3:16 Then there came two women that were harlots ((Zanah), 2181 unto (Solomon) the king, and stood before him. (The two harlots lived in same house, no husbands, and one newborn)               *Compare to a Virgin set apart: TAMAR, the Virgin: He Loved, Deceived, Hated  Sam 13:1-20 …forced her, and lay with her…  she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. 
                                           Mosaic Regulation of Harlotry                                                                                                                                                            Leviticus 19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; (ZANAH)
Leviticus 21:9  And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore (ZANAH), she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. Leviticus 21:13-14, Ezekial 44:22,  A priest cannot marry "A widow ('ALMANAH) or divorced woman (GARASH) or a defiled woman (CHALAL) or a whore (ZANAH)"   XXL Septuagint translates ZANAH as PORNE πορνην 4204.    Deuteronomy 22     "When any man takes a wife, the girl was not found a virgin, then they shall bring out the girl to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done wickedness in Israel, to play the harlot (ZANAH) in her father's house.  Deuteronomy 23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore (ZANAH) or the price of a dog into the house of the Lord.                                                                                                                                  Metaphorical Usage of Zanah for Harlotry and Whoredom by God’s people

Jeremiah 3:1  They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot ((Zanah) with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD. (The Lord did not take another, not England or the USA)

Whoring (Zanah) and Adultery (Na’aph) Are Not the Same.

     "But come here, you sons of the sorceress, you offspring of the adulterer (na’aph) and the whore (Zanah)!" (Isaiah 57:3)       "And I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery,(na’aph) I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and committed whoring  (Zanah) too." (Jeremiah 3:8)        "Why should I pardon you for this? Your children have forsaken me and sworn by those that are not mighty ones. When I had filled them up, they then committed adultery (na’aph) and they thronged to the house of a whore (Zanah)." (Jeremiah 5:7)       "Then I said concerning the one worn out in adulteries, (ne’euph) 'Now let them commit her whorings, (from zanah; taznuwth) even hers!'" (Ezekiel 23:43)       "They slaughter on the mountaintops, and burn incense on the hills, under oak and poplars and terebinth, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters commit whoring, (Zanah) and your brides (kallah 3618 daughter in laws) commit adultery.(na’aph 5003) " (Hosea 4:13)       "I would not punish your daughters when they commit whoring,(Zanah) nor your brides (kallah 3618 daughter-in-laws, spouses) when they commit adultery (na’aph 5003), for the men themselves go aside with whores,(Zanah) and offer with cult prostitutes (temple devotee 6948) -- a people that do not understand are thrust down!" (Hosea 4:14)
