Adultery: Israelites

So the next day they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.

Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them run wild and become a laughingstock to their enemies.

For they have committed an outrage in Israel by committing adultery with the wives of their neighbors and speaking lies in My name, which I did not command them to do. I am He who knows, and I am a witness, declares the LORD.”

Among you are slanderous men bent on bloodshed; within you are those who eat on the mountain shrines and commit acts of indecency. …

You have relied on your swords, you have committed detestable acts, and each of you has defiled his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?’

They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.
