Are you trying to tell me that a prostitute is not a whore? I think
the two words are synonyms. They mean the same thing. In fact, the
King James translators already used the word "prostitute" as a verb
to describe what the whore was doing in the same verse:
Le 19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest
the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
