Commentary on Numbers 25:3
The statement 'Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor' describes covenant unfaithfulness through idolatry and immorality. The phrase 'joined himself' uses covenant language, indicating Israel's spiritual adultery by attaching to false gods. God's anger burning against Israel demonstrates that covenant privilege brings greater accountability—those who know God and reject Him face severe judgment. This incident, occurring on Canaan's threshold after forty years of discipline, showed the new generation's susceptibility to the same sins as their fathers.
