7 ‎[1] WOMAN THAT IS A HARLOT. If we follow the plain meaning of the text then we do not find in all of Scripture the word *zonah* (harlot) to have any but its literal meaning. The meaning of and *have given a boy for a harlot* (zonah) (Joel 4:3) is also as I have explained.
‎[2] OR PROFANED. A woman who is not known as a harlot. According to the plain meaning, it would appear from the words of Ezekiel that the widow of a *kohen* is permitted to marry other *kohanim*. The words of tradition are thus true.
