³ Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel.

¹⁷ Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,

¹⁰ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; But they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, And became abominable like that which they loved.

²⁸ They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹ Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

⁵ Moses said to the judges of Israel, Kill you everyone his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.

³ Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Yahweh your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.

⁴ But you who did cleave to Yahweh your God are alive everyone of you this day.

¹⁴ The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers who despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

²⁰ The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to my voice;

¹¹ Who knows the power of your anger, Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

⁴ You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don't know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.
