Strong's Lexicon taznuth: Harlotry, whoredom, unfaithfulness Original Word: תַּזְנוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root זָנָה (zanah), meaning "to commit fornication" or "to be unfaithful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4202 (πορνεία, porneia): Often translated as "fornication" or "sexual immorality," used in the New Testament to describe similar acts of unfaithfulness and immorality. Usage: The term "taznuth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe acts of sexual immorality, particularly those associated with idolatry and spiritual unfaithfulness. It often conveys a sense of betrayal and infidelity, not only in a physical sense but also in a spiritual context, where Israel's worship of other gods is likened to adultery against Yahweh. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, faithfulness to Yahweh was paramount, and idolatry was considered a grave sin. The use of "taznuth" reflects the cultural understanding of covenant relationships, both in marriage and in the nation's relationship with God. The metaphor of harlotry was a powerful image to convey the seriousness of Israel's spiritual adultery when they turned to other gods, as it was a direct violation of the covenant established at Sinai.
