Charles Ellicott Commentary Joshua 22:17

"Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves unto this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of Jehovah," — Joshua 22:17 (ASV)

The iniquity of Peor. —A very natural subject for reference on the part of Phinehas, who had distinguished himself by his zealous opposition to it.
