1While IsraelH3478 remainedH3427 at 1ShittimH7851, the peopleH5971 beganH2490 2to commitH2181 infidelityH2181 with the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124. 2For 3they invitedH7121 the peopleH5971 to the sacrificesH2077 of their godsH430, and the peopleH5971 ateH398 and bowedH2331 downH2331 to their godsH430. 3So 4IsraelH3478 5becameH6775 followersH6775 of 6BaalH1187 ofH1187 PeorH1187, and the LordH3068 wasH2734 angryH639H2734 with IsraelH3478. 4And the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “TakeH3947 allH3605 the leadersH7218 of the peopleH5971 and 7executeH3363 them 8in broadH5048 daylightH8121 before the LordH3068, 9so that the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LordH3068 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from IsraelH3478.” 5So MosesH4872 saidH559 to the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, “EachH376 of you 10killH2026 his menH376 who have 11becomeH6775 followersH6775 of 12BaalH1187 ofH1187 PeorH1187.”

6Then beholdH2009, oneH376 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH7126 to his relativesH251 a 13MidianiteH4084 womanH4084, in the sightH5869 of MosesH4872 and in the sightH5869 of the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 14while they were weepingH1058 at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 715When PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, sawH7200 it, he roseH6965 upH6965 from the midstH8432 of the congregationH5712 and tookH3947 a spearH7420 in his handH3027, 8and he wentH935 afterH310 the manH376 of IsraelH3478 into the innerH6898 roomH6898 ofH6898 theH6898 tentH6898 and piercedH1856 bothH8147 of them, the manH376 of IsraelH3478 and the womanH802, throughH413 the abdomenH6896. 16So the plagueH4046 on the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 was broughtH6113 toH6113 aH6113 haltH6113. 917But those who diedH4191 from the plagueH4046 were twenty-fourH6242H702 thousandH505 in number.
