Numbers 25:6-9

6Then behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought to his 1relatives a 2Midianite woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, 3while they were weeping at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 74When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he arose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand, 8and he went after the man of Israel into the 5tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the 6body. 7So the plague on the sons of Israel was checked. 98Those who died by the plague were 24,000.
