The Israelites, notorious for their infidelity and disobedience did not disappoint when they came upon the Canaanite fertility cults and a competing god, Baal. The foreign women were made the source of the trouble and vengeance is the rule. These nomads have become warriors, grown by tribes and clans and have permission from the Lord to "treat the Midianites as enemies and crush them".
