c. of unchastity: incest Leviticus 18:17; Leviticus 20:14 (twice in verse), licentiousness Leviticus 19:29 (all H), Judges 20:6 ("" נְבָלָה), adultery Job 31:11; frequently (mostly Ezekiel) metaphor of idolatry of people under figure of harlotry and adultery Jeremiah 13:27 (זִמַּת זְנוּתֵךְ), Ezekiel 16:27 (דַּרְכֵךְ זִמָּה), Ezekiel 16:43; Ezekiel 16:58 (both "" תּוֺעֵבָה), Ezekiel 22:9 (with עשׂה), Ezekiel 22:11 (טִמֵּא בְּזִמָּה, "" תועבה), Ezekiel 23:21,27 ("" זְנוּתֵךְ), Ezekiel 23:29 (עֶרְוַתזְנוּנַיִךְ וְזִמָּתֵךְ וְתַזְנוּתָ֑יִךְ), Ezekiel 23:35 ("" תַּזְנוּתָ֑יִךְ), Ezekiel 23:44 (׳אִשּׁוֺת הַזּ, Co ׳לעשׂות ז), Ezekiel 23:48; Ezekiel 23:48; Ezekiel 23:49 ("" חֲטָאֵי גִלּוּלֵיכֶן), Ezekiel 24:13.

זַמָּה f. i.q. זִמָּה No. 1. Pl. זַמּוֹתִי for זַמּוֹתַי (comp. Gr. § 79, note 2 [§ 88, note 1]), my counsels or purposes, Psalms 17:3. According to the accents it is certainly to be thus taken, for the word זַמֹּתִי is Milrâ With the accent changed זַמּוֹ֫תִי is, I have purposed, and the sentence runs more smoothly if rendered, “(that which) I purposed (my mouth) shall not transgress.” [Qu. Is not this inf. of זָמַם?]
