This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The iniquity of Peor, i.e. of our worshipping of BaalPeer, Num 25.
From which we are not cleansed until this day; for though God had pardoned it, as to the national punishment of it, Num_25:11, yet they were not yet thoroughly purged from it; partly because the shame and blot of that filthy and odious practice was not yet wiped of; and partly because some of that corrupt leaven still remained among them, and though it smothered for a time, yet was ready to break forth upon all occasions. See Jos_24:23. And God also took notice of these idolatrous inclinations in particular persons, and found out ways to punish them one time or other.
