Numbers 25:1-5

Baal Worship at Peor

1 While Israel lived in ^aShittim, ^bthe people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. 2 ^cThese invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. 4 And the Lord said to Moses, ^d“Take all the chiefs of the people and ^ehang ^{▼▼Or impale} them in the sun before the Lord, ^gthat the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.” 5 And Moses said to ^hthe judges of Israel, ⁱ“Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor.”

2 Peter 2:15

15 Forsaking the right way, ^jthey have gone astray. They have followed ^kthe way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved ^lgain from wrongdoing,

Revelation of John 2:14

14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of ^mBalaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might ⁿeat food sacrificed to idols and ^opractice sexual immorality.
