>“This [statue] stands by the sewer and all people urinate before it.” And if people urinate before it, what of it? For Raba has said: Peʿor (Num 25:3) proves [the contrary], because people evacuate in its presence every day but it is not annulled as a consequence. “But I maintain that [Rabbi Gamaliel’s answer] was not fallacious”—because [in the case of Peʿor] such was the mode of its worship, but [with Aphrodite] it was not the mode of her worship

>The rabbis in the above Talmudic tractates, describing the rite of ritual defecation offered as worship to a pagan deity of their time (between the ends of the second and sixth centuries CE), use a traditional reference to a pagan rite mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as Baʿal Peʿor (Greek Beelphegor, where the gamma renders the guttural ʿayin). The biblical references to this divinity, however, remain vague and make no mention of ritual defecation. Originally, Baʿal Peʿor was simply a toponym. The name Peʿor פעור is related to הפוער” the opening” and to the root פער” to open (wide)” (i.e., the bowels). This is how it probably came to be associated with bowel movement and defecation

>In the Hebrew Bible, however, this Moabite divinity is associated with fertility rites and with “eating the sacrifices for the dead” (Ps 106:28) with no reference to defecation. Baʿal Peʿor probably represents the chthonic aspect of the Canaanite god of fertility. In Isa 5:14, Hebrew paʿar “to open wide” is said of the mouth of the netherworld. In Num 25:3, 5, 18, the Israelites on their way to the land of Canaan, while encamped at Shiṭṭim in the plains of Moab, indulged in orgies and rituals in an idolatrous fertility cult, worshiping together with the Moabite females the divinity Baʿal Peʿor
