1 Corinthians10:7
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them ; as it is written, * The people sate down to eat and drink, and rose up to play .
The people of Israel being first inticed to whoredom with the daughters of Moab, were after that, Num. 25.2. invited to the Sacrifices of their Gods, and did eat, and bowed down to their Gods. So, either worshipped the Creature instead of the Creator, or worshipped the Creator in and by the Creature.
Thus it is written in Exod. 32.6. (which History mentioneth another Idolatry) they were guilty of in worshipping the golden Calf.) They were wont to have Feasts after their Sacrifices, and passtimes and diversions after such Feasts; and particularly we are told in the History concerning the golden Calf, that they danced before it. Stephen, Acts 7.41. saith, They rejoiced in the work [illegible: 1 letter]f their hands.
