John,
Rather, PORNEIA (a general term for sexual misbehaviour) equates in the Old
Testament with the 'ervath davar, "some sexual fault/misbehavioiur", of
Deut 24:1.
I present the evidence for this in some detail in my book "Marriage and
Divorce - the New Testament Teaching", and also cite other scholars and
commentators who see this equivalence of meaning for PORNEIA (page 169).
May I commend to your interest the whole discussion in this book of the
meaning of PORNEIA and its use in the taching of Jesus (especially in Mt 5
and 19).
Regards,
Ward
