"Peor and Baaelim Forsake their temples dim." Milton. "The cedars wave on Lebanon, But Judah's statelier maids are gone." Byron. Beyrout, Thursday, May 27, 1852. After a stay of eight days in Damascus, we called our men, Dervish and Mustapha, again into requisition, loaded our enthusiastic mules, and mounted our despairing horses.
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD, But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
Now that the afternoon sun had left the front of the house, Ridley paced up and down the terrace repeating stanzas of a long poem, in a subdued but suddenly sonorous voice. Fragments of the poem were wafted in at the open window as he passed and repassed. Peor and Baalim Forsake their Temples dim, With that twice batter'd God of Palestine And mooned Astaroth
Intoxicated with wine, his passion for the woman was soon kindled, but she agreed to satisfy his desires only after he had first worshipped Peor, the god of the Moabites.
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
The conquerors settled in them, and a mixed Israelitish and Moabite population was the result. The Moabites, in fact, were powerless to resist. The southern portion of the kingdom had been overrun by Midianite hordes; the enemy with whom the Israelites had to contend on Moabite soil was Midianite and not Moabite. Those who corrupted Israel on the high-place of Peor were Midianites in race.
DOÑA MATILDE. ¿Sueño por ventura? ¡Es ésta aquella Clementina tan sentimental, de cuya amistad estaba yo tan segura! ¡Cómo me ha tratado con su aire de protección!... ¡peor que el casero con su grosería! y compró el vestido sólo por darme en ojos ... porque vió que me gustaba, y que ... ¡ah si yo hubiera tenido ochocientos reales! Sí, ¡cuándo volveré yo a tener ochocientos reales!
Cumberland inserts, that the import of the word Peor, or Baal Pheor, is he that shews boastingly or publicly, his nakedness. Women to avoid barrenness, were to sit on this filthy image, as the source of fruitfulness; for which Lactantius and Augustine justly deride the heathens. There was an awful mysteriousness in the original Druid sacrifice.
