A History Lesson From Israel
5 However, God was not pleased with the vast majority of them, for their bodies were scattered over the desert [See Num. 14:29ff]. 6 Now these events were examples for us, so that we should not have strong desires for evil things like they did. 7 [So], do not worship idols as some of them did, as it is written [Ex. 32:6], "The people sat down to feast and drink, then got up and played." [Note: This refers to the Israelites engaging in an orgy of dancing and sex. See Ex. 32:17-19].
