⁹ But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease.

⁸ Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

⁴⁹ Now fourteen thousand, seven hundred deaths were caused by that disease, in addition to those who came to their end because of what Korah had done.

⁵⁰ Then Aaron went back to Moses to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the disease came to a stop.

³⁷ Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.

⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned from Israel.

⁵ So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.

¹⁶ It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

³ Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for destruction came from the Lord on all those among you who went after Baal-peor.

⁴ But you who kept faith with the Lord are living, every one of you, today.
