Deuteronomy 23:17 Context
15¶ Thou shalt not deliuer vnto his master, the seruant which is escaped from his master vnto thee. 16He shall dwell with thee, euen among you, in that place which he shall choose, in one of thy gates where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppresse him. 17¶ There shalbe no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a Sodomite of the sonnes of Israel. 18Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dogge into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for euen both these are abomination vnto the Lord thy God. 19¶ Thou shalt not lend vpon vsury to thy brother; vsury of money, vsury of victuals, vsury of any thing that is lent vpon vsury.

Wesley's Notes for Deuteronomy 23:17
23:17 No whore - No common prostitute, such as were tolerated and encouraged by the Gentiles, and used even in their religious worship. Not that such practices were allowed to the strangers among them, as is evident from many scriptures and reasons, but that it was in a peculiar manner, and upon special reasons, forbidden to them, as being much more odious in them than in strangers.
