You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God
This commandment reflects the holiness and purity required in worship and offerings to God. In ancient Israel, the temple was a sacred place, and anything associated with sin or immorality was strictly forbidden. The prohibition against using earnings from prostitution in religious offerings underscores the importance of maintaining moral integrity in worship. This reflects the broader biblical principle that God desires offerings that are pure and given from a righteous heart (Isaiah 1:13-17). The inclusion of both female and male prostitutes highlights the comprehensive nature of the command, addressing practices common in surrounding pagan cultures, where temple prostitution was often part of religious rituals.

to fulfill any vow
Vows in the Old Testament were solemn promises made to God, often accompanied by offerings (Numbers 30:2). The use of illicit earnings to fulfill such vows would corrupt the sanctity of the vow itself. This phrase emphasizes that the source of what is offered to God matters as much as the act of offering. The integrity of the vow is compromised if it is fulfilled with proceeds from sinful activities, reflecting the biblical theme that God values obedience and righteousness over mere ritual (1 Samuel 15:22).

because both are detestable to the LORD your God
The term "detestable" is used in the Old Testament to describe practices that are abhorrent to God, often associated with idolatry and immorality (Leviticus 18:22-30). This strong language indicates the severity with which God views the use of immoral earnings in worship. The detestable nature of these practices is rooted in their association with pagan worship and the corruption they bring to the community's relationship with God. This reflects the broader biblical narrative of God's call for His people to be holy and set apart from the surrounding nations (Leviticus 20:26). The emphasis on God's personal disapproval ("the LORD your God") underscores the relational aspect of the covenant, where God's people are called to reflect His holiness in all aspects of life.

Teaching Points
Holiness in Worship
God demands purity in worship. The Israelites were to avoid bringing anything associated with sin into His house. This principle applies today as we approach God with reverence and purity.

Integrity in Offerings
Our offerings to God should come from honest and righteous means. This teaches us to evaluate the source of our resources and ensure they honor God.

Rejecting Cultural Compromise
The Israelites were surrounded by cultures that practiced temple prostitution. God’s command was a call to stand apart and not conform to the sinful practices around them.

The Value of Purity
God’s detestation of the wages of prostitution underscores the value He places on sexual purity. This calls believers to uphold purity in all aspects of life.

Commitment to Godly Standards
The prohibition against using immoral earnings for vows highlights the importance of maintaining godly standards in all our commitments to God.

What Does Deuteronomy 23:18 Mean
You must not bring the wages of a prostitute

• The command is direct: ill-gotten gains cannot be offered to God.Leviticus 19:29 likewise warns Israel not to degrade daughters through prostitution, showing that the practice itself is forbidden, let alone its profits.

• Temple gifts were to be “without blemish” (Malachi 1:8), reflecting God’s holy character; money earned through sin carries the stain of that sin.

•Acts 19:19 illustrates true repentance when former occultists burned their costly scrolls instead of funding ministry with them. God desires purity of heart over financial contribution.

whether female or male

• The law leaves no loophole—gender does not legitimize the act or its earnings.1 Kings 14:24 and2 Kings 23:7 record male shrine prostitution in Judah, condemned alongside female prostitution.

•Romans 1:26-27 confirms that sexual immorality of any kind falls under divine judgment. God applies the same moral standard to everyone.

into the house of the LORD your God

• The “house” signifies God’s very presence; nothing unclean may enter (Psalm 24:3-4).

•Deuteronomy 12:4 instructs Israel not to worship the LORD “in their way,” rejecting pagan patterns of funding temples through prostitution.

• Jesus defends this holiness when He drives out merchants from the temple (Matthew 21:12-13), underscoring that motives and methods matter in worship.

to fulfill any vow

• Vows were voluntary promises (Deuteronomy 23:21-23). A good vow kept with corrupt money becomes a bad offering.

•Proverbs 20:25 cautions against rash vows; better to withhold a gift than to corrupt it.

• Ananias and Sapphira’s story (Acts 5:1-11) shows that even generosity, if tainted by deceit, incurs judgment.

because both are detestable to the LORD your God

• “Detestable” marks absolute rejection (Deuteronomy 18:12). God’s revulsion covers both the act of prostitution and the attempt to sanctify its proceeds.

•Isaiah 61:8 affirms God’s love for justice and hatred of robbery in burnt offerings.

•Revelation 21:27 envisions a future where “nothing unclean” enters the New Jerusalem, proving that holiness remains God’s standard.

summary

Deuteronomy 23:18 teaches that God values purity over profit, forbidding any attempt to launder immoral earnings through religious giving. Whether the prostitution is committed by a woman or a man, both the practice and its proceeds are offensive to Him. His house must remain holy, vows must be honest, and worship must reflect His righteous character.

(18)The hire of a whore.--Even a lamb or a kid might not be sacrificed for them, if obtained as the wages of sin (Genesis 38:17).

The price of a dog.--The ass might be redeemed with a lamb, and the lamb could be sacrificed. The dog could not be treated thus. Yet "the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs." But there is a "dog that turns to his own vcmit again," and of these it is written that "without are dogsand sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie" (Revelation 22:15).
