NASB | Deuteronomy 23:18 "You shall not bring the hire of a harlot or the wages of a dog into the house of the LORD your God for any votive offering, for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Deuteronomy 23:18 "You shall not bring the wages of a prostitute or the price of a dog [that is, a male prostitute] into the house of the LORD your God as payment for any vow, for both of these [the gift and the giver] are utterly repulsive to the LORD your God. |
Subject: Is The Quote In The Bible? Where? |
Bible Note: Dear Gill Fisher, I am afraid it could be difficult to properly associate Deut 23:18 with the old lady's quote (from her memory in her youth) even though she mentioned her pastor quoted that statement many times in his preaching. We could not know why her pastor quote such a statement without knowing the context of his sermons. We understand that secular world like to borrow a bit of the idea from a Bible verse and twist it for their own application. So, my thought is that we cannot be TOO serious about the secular usage. If it is not in the Bible, then just simply tell the lady "NO". Meanwhile, her pastor quoted such statement many times do not necessary mean that it is really a Bible verse. Shalom Azure |
