Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Beth-Peor, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location in the Old Testament. However, the concept of idolatry and the consequences of unfaithfulness are themes that are addressed throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Usage: Beth-Peor is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a specific location. It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' journey and the events that took place in the region of Moab. Context: Beth-Peor is a geographical location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Israelites' encampment in the plains of Moab, across the Jordan River from Jericho. It is notably associated with the worship of the Moabite deity Peor, which led to the Israelites' sin of idolatry and immorality as recorded in Numbers 25. The site is also significant as the burial place of Moses, as described in Deuteronomy 34:6: "And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but to this day no one knows the location of his grave." Beth-Peor serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the importance of faithfulness to His commandments.
