Numbers 25:1New Messianic Version BibleAnd Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] abode in Sheetim [The Acacias], and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]. See the chapter |
But I have a few things against youi, because youi have there them that hold the doctrine of Bil’am [Not of the People], who taught Balak [a devastaror or spoiler] to cast a stumblingblock before the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God], to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
O my people, remember now what Balak [Devastator] king of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] consulted, and what Bil’am [Not of the People] the son of B’or [Burning] answered him from Sheetim [The Acacias] unto Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling]; that you2f may know the righteousness of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
Your eyes have seen what the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) did because of Ba’al-P’or [Lord of the Opening]: for all the men that followed Ba’al-P’or [Lord of the Opening], the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has destroyed them from among you.
Likewise when all the Y’hudim (Judeans) that [were] in Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and among the ‘Amon [Inbred], and in Edom [Red], and that [were] in all the countries, heard that the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] had left a remnant of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and that he had set over them G’dalyahu [Yehovah is great] the son of Achikam [my brother has arisen] the son of Shafan [coney];
I found Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: [but] they went to Ba’al-P’or [Lord of the Opening], and separated themselves unto [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.
