>In a Transjordanian location the Israelites “played the harlot (znh) with the daughters of Moab” (Num 25:1), by joining the local population in the licentious rites of the fertility cult. Therefore, the memory of that initial episode at Baʿal Peʿor became paradigmatic in presenting idolatry as adultery in respect to YHWH by almost all Hebrew prophets between the eighth and sixth centuries BCE (Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel). The marriage metaphor expresses the covenant with YHWH, while adultery stands for unfaithfulness to the covenant. The eighth century prophet Hosea does not tell us what happened at Baʿal Peʿor but expresses his great abhorrence of it: “They came to Baʿal Peʿor, consecrated themselves to bōšet (‘shame’ or rather ‘vigor’) and became abominations (šiqqûṣîm) like the thing they loved (k e ʾāhabām)” (Hos 9:10). The term šiqqûṣîm “abhorrent things” is also used as a synonym for idols. For example, either the statue of Zeus erected in the Jerusalem temple by Antiochus Epiphanes IV (175-164 BCE) or his own statue, which he introduced there, were called šiqqûṣ mešômēm “abomination of desolation” (Dan 11:31; 12:11). In this context, the final term in this reference in Hosea, “love” ʾāhab, contains a double entendre. It stands for religious allegiance to a foreign deity (cf. Akkadian raḫāmu, râmu) and could refer to sexual acts of devotion to this god associated with fertility rites

>Moreover, some scholars view the eighth century BCE Old Aramaic Balaam inscription found in Deir ʿAlla in Transjordan as a hieros logos of the Baʿal Peʿor sanctuary

>The connection between vigorous sexuality and chthonic aspects of the fertility rites associated with Baʿal Peʿor have been related to the Ugaritic myth of Baʿal who, during his stay in the netherworld in the form of a bull, makes love to a heifer, mounting her up to 88 times, probably a symbolic figure (KTU2 l.5 v:18-21)
