The act or condition of fornication or unchastity, especially persistent sexual promiscuity or harlotry; extended, it can denote a pattern of sexual transgression outside the bounds of accepted relationships, and, by metaphor, habitual unfaithfulness—especially in reference to religious infidelity such as the turning of Israelite communities to veneration of other deities or cultic practices.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2183-01
her habitual fornications
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (זְנוּנֵי) with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix; derived from the intensive form of זנה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from זנה and, in its intensive plural form, denotes repeated or persistent acts of fornication. The masculine plural construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her habitual fornications," preserving both plurality and possession. |
