Baal-Peor] Baal the Idol of the Moabites which was on the hill Peor, or Phegnor, Chap. 23. 28. so called from the manner of the Idol worshipped upon that mountaine; and the manner was such, that in it both spirituall and carnall uncleannesse met together, as vice and impudence. Heb. the God of opening, or nakednesse: by which is meant the abominable and shamelesse Idolatry of Priapus. Isid. Etymol. 50: 8. 100: 11.
