📚 Historical Context
This refers to the incident at Baal-Peor (Numbers 25) where the Israelites were seduced into worshiping a false god and committing sexual immorality with Moabite women. God sent a plague that killed 24,000 Israelites as judgment for this sin. The leaders are now warning against repeating such rebellion.
