Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb זָנָה (zanah), which means "to commit fornication" or "to be a harlot."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2041 (ἔργον, ergon): While not a direct equivalent, this Greek term refers to "work" or "deed," which can be related to actions that demonstrate faithfulness or unfaithfulness. Usage: The word תַּזְנוּת appears in contexts that describe both literal and figurative acts of unfaithfulness. It is often used to depict Israel's spiritual adultery when the nation turns away from God to worship other deities. Context: תַּזְנוּת (taznuth) is a noun that captures the concept of infidelity, both in a physical and spiritual sense. In the Hebrew Scriptures, it is frequently associated with the worship of foreign gods and the abandonment of the covenantal relationship with Yahweh. This term is used to illustrate the severity of Israel's sin when they engage in idolatry, likening it to the betrayal of a marriage covenant. The prophets often employ this imagery to call the people back to faithfulness and repentance. For example, in the book of Hosea, the prophet uses the metaphor of harlotry to describe Israel's unfaithfulness: "For the spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they have played the harlot against their God" (Hosea 4:12, BSB). This vivid imagery serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the call to return to Him with a faithful heart.
