And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, that looketh towards Jeshimon.

And Israel joined himself to Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined to Baal-peor.

For they distress you with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD, in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
