HARLOT An abandoned woman, Pr 29:3; a type of idolatrous nations and cities, Isa 1:21 Eze 16:1-63 Na 3:4. Among the Jews, prostitutes were often foreigners; hence their name of "strange women." They were often devoted to heathen idols, and their abominations were a part of the worship, Nu 25:1-5 Ho 4:14; a custom from the defilement of which the house of God was expressly defended, De 23:18.
