Numbers 25
A common theme so far is that people will be people and they often forget or ignore the law of God.
In this chapter Israelites are being seduced by the local Moabites and give up following God and start following the god of the Moabites.
God is not impressed and sends a plague, which only ends when a man bringing a Moabite woman to his tend is spotted and executed.
I think God's beef in this chapter is more to do with living a moral and God fearing life than about falling in love - I guess it is possible the Israelites were probably falling in lust rather than love?
Numbers 26 is another census after the plague and is (to my view) quite boring!
