So Pinchas and Calev cross the Jordan into Israel, and stop for the night in the city of Jerico, at the house of an innkeeper named Rahav. The Hebrew word for innkeeper is "zonah", which comes from the word "mazon" (food). Rachav is referred to in the Book of Joshua as "isha zonah", which can be translated as "a female innkeeper, who provided food for people".
But the word "zonah" also means prostitute. Rahav was a prostitute, involved with many people, and she supported herself by running a brothel disguised as an inn.

--- Quote ---Much of the ends of Parshiyos Acharei-Mos and K'doshim are devoted to a detailed description of the many prohibitions against ‘arayot (forbidden relations) with Acharei-Mos containing the azharot, the prohibitions, and K'doshim containing the ‘onshim, the punishments. The devotion of two entire sections of the Torah to these prohibitions indicates their centrality. This is further verified by the punishment of kareis (excision) imposed on violators and the fact that these prohibitions are one of only three categories of prohibitions that necessitate forfeiting one's life even in private and not during a time of religious persecution (sh'as hash'mad) rather than violate them (see Rambam, Hilchos Y'sodei HaTorah 5:2).

--- Quote from: her majesty on November 28, 2012, 10:43:25 PM ---I'm aware there are laws that are actual commandments in both the Torah and the Talmud. Then there are other rabbinical prohibitions which aren't actually commandments from G-d. This book being quoted from here what is that & is it just prohibitions or are these laws from the Talmud? I know they aren't in the Torah. ..Sorry but i don't know any orthodox or religious jewish people to ask that to. what is this mishna book? Is it from the Talmud, Torah or just rabbis making a fence (prohibitions) There are many instances in the Torah of jews marrying righteous gentiles so in those marraiges (assuming these are not prohibitions but actual commandments set forth here on this page) are they still relevant? Doesn't G-d make the match???? So why would He then condemn it????
