Solomon’s Wise Judgment

¹⁶ Now two women who were harlots came to the king, and ^(A)stood before him.

¹⁶ When they have ^(A)a ^[a]difficulty, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known the statutes of God and His laws.”

Jephthah

11 Now ^(A)Jephthah the Gileadite was ^(B)a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah.

Rahab Hides the Spies^(A)

2 Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men ^(B)from ^[a]Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.”

So they went, and ^(C)came to the house of a harlot named ^(D)Rahab, and ^[b]lodged there.

¹⁷ “There shall be no ritual ^[a]harlot ^(A)of the daughters of Israel, or a ^(B)perverted^[b] one of the sons of Israel.

² And they stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the tabernacle of meeting, saying:

^29 (A)‘Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness.

¹³ And so it was, on the next day, that Moses ^(A)sat to judge the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening.
