Definition: The word "adulterates" in Old Testament Hebrew is a term used to describe those who adulterated or transgressed against the law, specifically God's commandment regarding sexual relations. This phrase was used by God to punish people for their transgression and to maintain His people's moral purity before Him. The context of this verse indicates that the adulterating persons are not guilty of any sins in themselves, but rather it is about the consequences they may have caused or experienced through their actions. Here are a few specific definitions of what "adultery" means: - Adultery: The sin of giving into lust or sexual desire without the consent and understanding from one's spouse. - Transgression: Any act that violates God’s law, causing damage to His people, including a violation of sexual relations. - Transgression: This is a term used in this context to describe the action of violating the commandment regarding sexual relations. It can also mean an abomination or impurity. For example, it could be referring to something like a person having sex with someone younger than they are or engaging in immoral behavior outside marriage (like using a partner's clothes for their own needs). In the Hebrew Bible, this verse is found in Deuteronomy 22:1-5. This text discusses various forms of sexual transgression and warns about such actions.
