Deuteronomy 23:18 - You shall not bring the hire of a zonah, or the
price of a dog (?male prostitute), into the house of YHWH your Elohim
for any vow: for both of these are an abomination to YHWH your Elohim.
Here would have been the perfect verse to mention kadeshah if there were
any major problems with this. I think it seems clear that a distinction
was made in those days between a sanctioned kadeshah, whose services
would have been available in the temple precincts, and a zonah who
operates on the highways and byways.
