commit adultery
To commit adultery — specifically, to violate the exclusivity of a formal marital bond by engaging in sexual relations with someone not one's spouse. The term primarily denotes the act of marital infidelity, especially as defined by covenantal relationships in ancient Israelite society. It is used both in concrete legal contexts (marital unfaithfulness) and metaphorically, often referring to spiritual unfaithfulness against YHWH (e.g., the turning of Israel to other deities).
