This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; the people of Israel, being first enticed to whoredom with the daughters of Moab, were after that invited to the sacrifices of their gods, and did eat, and bowed down to their gods. Num_25:2; so, either worshipped the creature instead of the Creator, or worshipped the Creator in and by the creature.
As it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play; thus it is written in Exo_32:6; which history mentioneth another idolatry they were guilty of, in worshipping the golden calf. They were wont to have feasts after their sacrifices, and pastimes and diversions after such feasts; and particularly we are told in the history concerning the golden calf, that they danced before it. Stephen saith, Act_7:41, they rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
