But I said to their sons in the wilderness, Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers and do not keep their judgments, and do not defile yourselves with their idols.
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruit in the fig tree at its beginning. They came to Baal-peor and separated to shame. And they became detestable things like that which they loved.
Behold, these through the word of Balaam became to the sons of Israel a deliverance of treachery against Jehovah in the matter of Peor; and the plague was on the company of Jehovah.
