17 “There shall be no cult prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a cult prostitute of the sons of Israel. 18 You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog,[a] into the house of the Lord your God in payment for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God.
