וַיִּצָּ֥מֶד יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְבַ֣עַל פְּע֑וֹר וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֥ף יְהוָ֖ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Israël se prostitua à Baal-Peor et le courroux du Seigneur s’alluma contre Israël.
On the Change of Names
[107] Midianites, in this sense, initiated in the unholy rites of Baal Peor (Num. 25:3), and widening all the orifices of the body to receive the streams which pour in from outside (for the meaning of Baal Peor is “mouth of skin above ”), flood the ruling mind and sink it to the lowest depths, so that it cannot float up to the top or rise ever so little.
