Were you aware that for centuries this same verse was used to condemn masturbators? Not homosexuals?

Were you aware that the King James translators translated the Hebrew word "qadesh" as 'sodomites' yet it actually means male temple prostitute in Hebrew?

KJV Deut 23:17 "There shall be no w-h-ore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel"

ESV: Deut 23:17: "None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute (6948), nor shall any of the sons of Israel be a cult (6945) prostitute.

Look it up yourself:

Strongs 6945: qadesh - male temple prostitute

Strongs 6948: qĕdeshah - female temple prostitute.


(Strong's Number H6945 matches the Hebrew קָדֵשׁ (qadesh), which occurs 23 times in 9 verses in the Hebrew concordance)


Do a little research about what the Canaanite culture was about and you might get some insight about what the verses typically used against gay people now were really about back when the texts were written.
