Numbers 25:1-3

The Voice

25 Now it happened that while Israel was biding its time at Shittim, on the edge of the wilderness near Jericho, some of the men got mixed up with Moabite women. They got friendly and had sexual relations. ² The Moabites invited these Israelites to participate in Moabite religious rituals and worship of their gods, ³ and God’s people bound themselves to the deity Baal of Peor, which made the Eternal One furious at Israel.
