Numbers 25:4-9

4And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, TakeH3947 all the chiefsH7218 of the peopleH5971, and hang them up unto Jehovah before the sunH8121, that the fierce angerH639 of Jehovah may turnH7725 awayH7725 from IsraelH3478. 5And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, SlayH2026 ye every oneH376 his menH376 that have joinedH6775 themselves unto Baal-peorH1187.

6And, behold, oneH376 of the children of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH935 unto his brethren a Midianitish womanH4084 in the sight of MosesH4872, and in the sight of all the congregationH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478, while they were weepingH1058 at the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 7And when PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, sawH7200 it, he roseH6965 up from the midstH8432 of the congregationH5712, and tookH3947 a spearH7420 in his handH3027; 8and he wentH935 after the manH376 of IsraelH3478 into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the manH376 of IsraelH3478, and the womanH802 through her body. So the plagueH4046 was stayed from the children of IsraelH3478. 9And those that diedH4191 by the plagueH4046 wereH1961 twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
