Halakhah sobre Números 23:28
וַיִּקַּ֥ח בָּלָ֖ק אֶת־בִּלְעָ֑ם רֹ֣אשׁ הַפְּע֔וֹר הַנִּשְׁקָ֖ף עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַיְשִׁימֹֽן׃
Então Balaque levou Balaão ao cume de Peor, que dá para o deserto.
Sefer HaChinukh
From the laws of the commandment is that which they said that it is forbidden to mention the name of idolatry even not by way of an oath; and that the name of all idolatry written in the Holy Books (Bible) is permissible to mention - such as Peor (Numbers 23:28), and Bel and Nevo (Isaiah 46:1), and similar to them. And that it is forbidden to cause others to vow or to affirm with the name of idolatry, but the only one to get lashed is the one that makes the oath or the one that makes the affirmation in its name - meaning the one who swears, himself, and not the one who makes him swear, even though the one who makes someone swear is also included in this negative commandment, according to the opinion of Rambam, may his memory be blessed. And the rest of its details are elucidated in the seventh chapter of Sanhedrin.
