Numbers 25:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Moab Leads Israel Astray

25 Israel was staying in Shittim. The men of Israel began to commit sexual sins with the women of Moab. ² The women invited the men to feasts and sacrifices to honor their gods. The people ate the sacrifices and bowed down in front of the statues of those gods. ³ So Israel joined in worshiping the god named Baal that was worshiped at Peor. The Lord became very angry with Israel.
