Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 4:3/אבן עזרא על דברים ד׳:ג׳

אבבעל פעור. בעבור בעל פעור ורבים כן ומי שלא עבד בעל פעור הנו חי:
1IN BAAL-PEOR. Be-va’al pe’or (in Baal-peor) means because of Baal-peor.8 here has the meaning of because rather than in. I.E. renders our clause as: your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor. There are many such instances.9 here has the meaning of because. Whoever did not worship Baal-peor is alive.
