Joined

So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you slay his men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor.”

Your eyes have seen what the Lord has done in the case of Baal-peor, for all the men who followed Baal-peor, the Lord your God has destroyed them from among you.

Is not the iniquity of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although a plague came on the congregation of the Lord,

They joined themselves also to Baal-peor,
And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness;
I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season.
But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to

shame,

And they became as detestable as that which they loved.

The anger

Is not the iniquity of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although a plague came on the congregation of the Lord,

The anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

Who understands the power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?

And you will, even of yourself, let go of your inheritance
That I gave you;
And I will make you serve your enemies
In the land which you do not know;
For you have kindled a fire in My anger
Which will burn forever.

So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor.

“I was almost in utter ruin
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”
