以色列人住在什亭 —— 百姓就与摩押女子行起淫乱来。
⚑⚑ 咒诅不管用(22-24 章),这一招管用了 —— 31:16 明说这是巴兰出的主意(见 31:16 的注);启 2:14「巴兰的教训…叫他们行奸淫」指的正是本章。

(亨利本章的大纲分印在 25:1、25:6、25:9、25:10 四个切片开头;本章的引言在 25:16 切片末尾,1–5 节的经文印在前面)……〔一、以色列的罪(1–〕3 节);二、这罪受的刑罚:由官长的手〔(4、5 节)〕,也由神直接的手〔(8、9 节)〕;三、非尼哈杀了心利和哥斯比这两个厚颜的罪人,显出他敬虔的热心〔(7、8 节)〕;四、神称许非尼哈的热心〔(10–13 节)〕;五、神使以色列人与引诱他们的米甸人彼此为仇,像起初使女人与蛇为仇一样〔(16–18 节)〕。
这里有:一、以色列的罪,是摩押和米甸的女子引诱他们犯的;他们身体和灵性都犯了淫乱,因为「以色列人与巴力·毗珥连合」……(下接 3 节)
⚑⚑ 本节第二个动词藏着一个双关,而它多半是有意的: 「百姓就开始(וַיָּ֣חֶל)与摩押女子行起淫乱」—— וַיָּחֶל 的字根 חָלַל chalal 既是「开始」,也是「亵渎、玷污」(同一组辅音)。 「百姓开始……」与「百姓被玷污……」在这里是同一个字。(希伯来文读者听得见两层;中译只能取一层。) ⚑ 「行淫」זָנָה zanah —— 这个动词在旧约里既指身体的淫乱,也是先知书里「拜偶像」的固定说法。2 节紧接着就把两件事连成一件:吃祭物、下拜。
