Baal Peor

Baal Peor is a biblical term referring to a pagan idol and the associated ritual worship practiced by the Moabites, which involved idol worship and often included immoral practices. In the Bible, it is notably linked to the story of the Israelites, who fell into sin by engaging in this worship, leading to divine punishment. The name "Baal Peor" symbolizes the temptation and spiritual danger of turning away from monotheistic faith toward idolatry and immoral acts, serving as a cautionary example of the consequences of forsaking spiritual principles.
