Commentary on Deuteronomy 4:3

Theological / Devotional

Because of Baal-peor. Literally, “in Baal-peor.” For the sin and its results at this place see Num. 25:1-5; Deut. 3:29; Hosea 9:10. Some scholars think that the Baal-peor here mentioned was a god of sexual desire, such as is worshipped so freely by the Lingayats in India today.
