Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

נָאַף fut. יִנְאַף, and Piel נִאֵף, part. מְנָאֵף, to commit adultery, used both of the male and female, Exodus 20:13, followed by an acc., to commit adultery with a woman, Proverbs 6:32; Leviticus 20:10; Jeremiah 29:23. In the same manner as זָנָה to commit fornication, it is applied to the turning aside of Israel from the true God to the worship of idols, Jeremiah 3:8, אֲשֶׁר נִאֲפָה מְשֻׁבָה יִשְׂרָאֵל “because rebellious Israel commits adultery;” Jeremiah 5:7, 9:1 23:14. Followed by an acc. Jeremiah 3:9, וַתִּנְאַף אֶת־הָאֶבֶן וְאֶת־הָעֵץ “and she commits adultery with stone and wood;” Ezekiel 23:37. Hence
