Num. 25:1‑9• 1And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab.
 2And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.
 3And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.
 4And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel.
 5And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor.
 6And behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianitish woman to his brethren, in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the entrance of the tent of meeting.
 7And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a javelin in his hand,
 8and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
