Parallel DEU 23:17

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

קְדֵשָׁ֖ה & קָדֵ֖שׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: not be cult_prostitute any,of_the_daughters_of Yisrael and=not will_belong cult_prostitute from=(the)_sons Yisrael )

The term cultic prostitute refers to someone who engaged in sexual acts as part of the worship of pagan gods. This practice was common in ancient Canaanite religion but was forbidden in Israel. If your readers would not be familiar with what a cultic prostitute is, you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [woman who performs sexual acts in pagan worship … man who performs sexual acts in pagan worship] or [female temple prostitute who serves false gods … male temple prostitute who serves false gods]
