Translations

Like grapes in the wilderness I found Yisra'el; like the first-ripe fig on the fig tree in its first season I saw your fathers. But they came to Ba'al-Pe'or, and consecrated themselves to shame — and became as detestable as the very thing they loved.
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to Shame; so they became as detestable as the thing they loved.
