Deuteronomy 23:16 in Context — Deuteronomy 23

14 Porque Jehová tu Dios anda por medio de tu campo, para librarte y entregar tus enemigos delante de ti; por tanto será tu real santo: porque él no vea en ti cosa inmunda, y se vuelva de en pos de ti.

15 No entregarás á su señor el siervo que se huyere á ti de su amo:

16 More contigo, en medio de ti, en el lugar que escogiere en alguna de tus ciudades, donde bien le estuviere: no le harás fuerza.

17 No habrá ramera de las hijas de Israel, ni habrá sodomítico de los hijos de Israel.

18 No traerás precio de ramera, ni precio de perro á la casa de Jehová tu Dios por ningún voto; porque abominación es á Jehová tu Dios así lo uno como lo otro.
