Commentary on Numbers 25:18

Theological / Devotional

Beguiled you. By means of their women, at the evil suggestion of Balaam (ch. 31:16).

In the matter of Peor. By the worship of Baal-peor, into which they were inveigled by the women’s invitations to sacrificial feasts and the licentious rites that followed.
