Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Deuteronomy 23:17No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.1 Kings 15:12He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.Ezekiel 16:16You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!1 Kings 14:24There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.Exodus 35:25–26Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.Romans 1:26–27For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.Ezekiel 8:14Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.Genesis 19:4–5Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.1 Kings 22:46He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.Hosea 2:13I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,” declares the LORD.2 Chronicles 34:33And Josiah removed all the abominations from all the lands belonging to the Israelites, and he required everyone in Israel to serve the LORD their God. Throughout his reign they did not turn aside from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.Exodus 35:25Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.Ezekiel 16:50Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.Hosea 4:14I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
