# adulterous

adjective

«adulterous» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

Adultery is forbidden in the Ten Commandments and is treated as a very serious sin.

**Interpretation.** Proverbs warns that sin can become so ordinary to a person that they feel no guilt, and the prophets often use adultery as a picture of Israel straying from God.

### Meaning

Describing a woman who is unfaithful to her husband. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/A/adulterous/#m1)
