Numbers 25:1-5

1While IsraelH3478 was stayingH3427 in ShittimH7851,1 the menH5971 beganH2490 to indulge in sexual immoralityH2181 withH413 the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124, 2who also invitedH7121 themH5971 to the sacrificesH2077 for their godsH430. And the peopleH5971 ateH398 and bowed downH7812 to these godsH430. 3So IsraelH3478 joined in worshipingH6775 Baal of PeorH1187, and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 burnedH2734 againstH3478 them.

4Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “TakeH3947 allH3605 the leadersH7218 of the peopleH5971 and executeH3363 themH853 inH5048 broad daylightH8121 before the LORDH3068, so thatH3068 His fierceH2740 angerH639 may turn awayH7725 from IsraelH3478.”

5So MosesH4872H413 toldH559 the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, “Each of you must killH2026 all of his menH376H582 who have joined in worshipingH6775 Baal of PeorH1187.”
