Baal Worship at Peor

1While 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. 3So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. 4And 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.” 5And Moses said to hthe judges of Israel, i“Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor.”

6And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were jweeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting. 7 kWhen Phinehas lthe son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand 8and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped. 9Nevertheless, mthose who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

Numbers 31:16

16Behold, nthese, oon Balaam’s advice, caused the people of Israel to act treacherously against the Lord in the incident of pPeor, and so qthe plague came among the congregation of the Lord.

Joshua 22:17

17Have 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,

Psalms 106:28-29

28 Then they syoked themselves to the tBaal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to uthe dead;
 29they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.

Hosea 9:10

10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
vI found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
But wthey came to Baal-peor
and xconsecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and ybecame detestable like the thing they loved.
