Thematic Bible: Baal-peor, a God of the moabites


Thematic Bible



So Israel joined themselves to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry against Israel.

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.

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.

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,
