TSK · Numbers 25:3

So Moses said to the judges of Israel,“Each of you must execute those of his men who were joined to Baal-peor.”

You have witnessed what the LORD did at Baal Peor, how he eradicated from your midst everyone who followed Baal Peor.

A Monotonous Cycle The Israelites did evil before the LORD by worshiping the Baals.

The LORD was furious with Israel and handed them over to robbers who plundered them. He turned them over to their enemies who lived around them. They could no longer withstand their enemies’ attacks.

Who can really fathom the intensity of your anger? Your raging fury causes people to fear you.

They made the LORD angry by their actions, and a plague broke out among them.

I will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men consort with harlots, they sacrifice with temple prostitutes. It is true:“A people that lacks understanding will come to ruin!”
