Nation of Whores
Leviticus 19:29
|
| 
"29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness." |
You might be asking yourself, "Who in the world would prostitute their own daughters?" It was a common practice among the heathen, particularly among the Phoenicians or Canaanites, to commit their daughters to serving as prostitutes for the various gods and idols whom they worshiped.
God warned Israel that such worship of the flesh was contagious, that it would get out of hand, and that the whole land of Israel would be filled with the wickedness of whoredom. God did not demand that kind of sacrifice from His people. It was an abomination to Him, because he had created sex as a beautiful means of bonding a man and a woman together in holy matrimony.
