Original Word:זָנוּן
Part of Speech:Noun Masculine
Transliteration:zanuwn
Pronunciation:zeh-noo-neem
Phonetic Spelling:(zaw-noon')
Definition:Harlotry, whoredom, fornication, adultery
Meaning:adultery, idolatry

Word Origin:Derived from the root זָנָה (zanah), which means "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 "zenunim" refers to acts of sexual immorality, often used metaphorically to describe spiritual unfaithfulness or idolatry. It conveys a sense of betrayal and infidelity, both in a physical and spiritual sense. In the Hebrew Bible, it is frequently used to describe Israel's unfaithfulness to God through idolatry and alliances with foreign nations.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, sexual immorality was not only a personal sin but also a communal concern, as it could lead to the defilement of the land and the people. The metaphor of harlotry was a powerful image in the prophetic literature, illustrating Israel's covenantal unfaithfulness to Yahweh. The prophets often used this imagery to call the nation to repentance and to return to their exclusive devotion to God.
