Fornication

Easton's Bible Dictionary

In every form of it was sternly condemned by the Mosaic law (Lev 21:9; 19:29; Deut 22:20, 21, 23-29; 23:18; Exod 22:16).

But this word is more frequently used in a symbolical than in its ordinary sense. It frequently means a forsaking of God or a following after idols (Isa 1:2; Jer 2:20; Ezek 16; Hos 1:2; 2:1-5; Jer 3:8, 9).
