16 Behold, these, won Balaam’s advice, caused the people of Israel to act treacherously against the Lord in xthe incident of Peor, and so the plague came among the congregation of the Lord.
3 jYour eyes have seen kwhat the Lord did at Baal-peor, for the Lord your God destroyed from among you all the men who followed the Baal of Peor.
17 Have we not had enough of rthe sin at Peor from which even yet we have not cleansed ourselves, and for which there came a plague upon the congregation of the Lord,
28 oThen they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;
10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
yBut they came to Baal-peor
and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and became detestable like the thing they loved.
8 We must not indulge in sexual immorality gas some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.
15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed gthe way of hBalaam, the son of Beor, who loved igain from wrongdoing,
14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold ethe teaching of fBalaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to gidols and practice hsexual immorality.
