^16 (A)Behold, these ^[a]caused the sons of Israel, through the ^[b]counsel of ^(B)Balaam, to ^[c]trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, so the plague was among the congregation of the Lord.

⁸ Nor let us act immorally, as ^(A)some of them ^[a]did, and ^(B)twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

¹⁴ But ^(A)I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the ^(B)teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, ^(C)to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.
