Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) The hire of a whore.--Even a lamb or a kid might not be sacrificed for them, if obtained as the wages of sin (Genesis 38:17).The price of a dog.--The ass might be redeemed with a lamb, and the lamb could be sacrificed. The dog could not be treated thus. Yet "the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs." But there is a "dog that turns to his own vcmit again," and of these it is written that "without are dogs and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie" (Revelation 22:15).Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewYou must notלֹא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nobringתָבִיא֩ (ṯā·ḇî)Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gothe wagesאֶתְנַ֨ן (’eṯ·nan)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 868: The wages (of a harlot)of a prostitute, whether femaleזוֹנָ֜ה (zō·w·nāh)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2181: To commit adultery, to commit idolatryor male,כֶּ֗לֶב (ke·leḇ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3611: A dog, a male prostituteinto the houseבֵּ֛ית (bêṯ)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1004: A houseof the LORDיְהוָ֥ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelyour Godאֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ (’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā)Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeto fulfill anyלְכָל־ (lə·ḵāl)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everyvow,נֶ֑דֶר (ne·ḏer)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5088: A promise, a thing promisedbecauseכִּ֧י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionbothשְׁנֵיהֶֽם׃ (šə·nê·hem)Number - mdc | third person masculine pluralStrong's 8147: Two (a cardinal number)are detestableתוֹעֲבַ֛ת (ṯō·w·‘ă·ḇaṯ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 8441: Something disgusting, an abhorrence, idolatry, an idolto the LORDיְהוָ֥ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelyour God.אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ (’ĕ·lō·he·ḵā)Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeJump to PreviousAbomination Dog Earnings Harlot Hire House Loose Male Money Oath Offering Pay Payment Price Prostitute Purposes Sex Used Votive Vow Wages Whore Worship
