This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Num_25:3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
Ver. 3. Joined himself to Baalpeor.] Separated himself to that shame, {Hos_9:10} that abominable and shameless service of Priapus, as Jerome and Isidore understand it, as Maachah the mother of Asa seems to have done, {1Ki_15:13} and other filthy persons, whose fashion was, as soon as their sacrifice was ended, to step aside into the grove of their god, and there, like brute beasts, promiscuously to satisfy their lusts, &c. Vah scelus infandum!
