This event led to a severe plague among the Israelites as a divine judgment. The worship of Baal-Peor involved licentious rites and was a direct violation of the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The location of Peor is in the region of Moab, east of the Jordan River.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6473.htm">paar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a mountain in Moab, also a god worshiped there<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Peor (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מְּעוֺר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name</b></font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Φογωρ</font>: <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1. mont.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Moab</b></font> (apparently from some √ <font class="hebrew2">פעֿר</font>); — <a href="/interlinear/numbers/23-28.htm">Numbers 23:28</a> compare (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בֵּית פ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בַּעַל פ</font> and references; also) Buhl<sup>Geogr.122</sup> Dr<sup>Deuteronomy 3:29</sup>; [<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-59.htm">Joshua 15:59</a>a [60] gives a <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Φαγωρ</font> with Bethlehem; see also <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> for <font class="hebrew2">מָּ֑עוּ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מָּ֑עִי</font>]. <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2. dei</b></font> (apparently) <a href="/interlinear/numbers/25-18.htm">Numbers 25:18</a> (twice in verse) (compare <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בַּעַל פ</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/25-3.htm">Numbers 25:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/25-5.htm">Numbers 25:5</a>), <a href="/interlinear/numbers/31-16.htm">Numbers 31:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/joshua/22-17.htm">Joshua 22:17</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Peor <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6473.htm">pa'ar</a>; a gap; Peor, a mountain East of Jordan; also (for <a href="/hebrew/1187.htm">Ba'al p'owr</a>) a deity worshipped there -- Peor.
