Numbers 25:1-3

Living Bible

25 While Israel was camped at Acacia, some of the young men began going to wild parties with the local Moabite girls. ² These girls also invited them to attend the sacrifices to their gods, and soon the men were not only attending the feasts, but also bowing down and worshiping the idols. ³ Before long all Israel was joining freely in the worship of Baal, the god of Moab; and the anger of the Lord was hot against his people.
