In the tenth and following Urantia Foundation printings, "life-long" was changed to "lifelong." As both forms are correct, and as both forms are found elsewhere in the revelation, this change seems needless.

Original Paragraph:

^{P982:5, 89:8.1} Sacrificial redemption and temple prostitution were in reality modifications of human sacrifice. Next came the mock sacrifice of daughters. This ceremony consisted in bloodletting, with dedication to life-long virginity, and was a moral reaction to the older temple harlotry. In more recent times virgins dedicated themselves to the service of tending the sacred temple fires.
