However, the concept of idolatry and apostasy is addressed in various Greek terms throughout the New Testament, such as εἰδωλολατρία (eidololatria • idolatry) and ἀποστασία (apostasia • apostasy). Usage: Baal-Peor is mentioned in the context of Israel's idolatry and apostasy, where the Israelites were led astray to worship this Moabite god, resulting in divine judgment. Context: Baal-Peor is a proper noun referring to a specific idol worshiped by the Moabites and Midianites. The worship of Baal-Peor is notably mentioned in the Book of Numbers, where the Israelites, during their wilderness journey, were seduced into idolatry and immorality with the Moabite women, leading to the worship of this deity. This incident provoked the anger of the LORD, resulting in a plague that killed 24,000 Israelites. The event is a significant example of Israel's recurring struggle with idolatry and the consequences of turning away from the covenant with God. The worship of Baal-Peor is condemned as a grievous sin, and it serves as a warning against the dangers of syncretism and unfaithfulness to God. The narrative underscores the importance of exclusive devotion to the LORD and the rejection of foreign gods.
