Translations: to sexual immorality, to fornication, to prostitution, to idolatry, to unlawful sexual intercourse
From the root: ΠΟΡΝΕΙΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to sexual immorality, including fornication, prostitution, and any unlawful sexual intercourse. In a broader sense, it can also refer to idolatry, as idolatry was often metaphorically depicted as spiritual unfaithfulness or prostitution in ancient texts. The trailing apostrophe is a keraia, indicating that the word is being used as a number, specifically 100,000. However, this is highly unusual for this word and context, making it more likely a scribal error or a very rare, specific numerical usage. It is more probable that the apostrophe is a coronis indicating an elision, or simply a scribal error.
Inflection: Plural, Dative, Feminine
