Numbers 25

1 Ref And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

2 Ref And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

3 Ref And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

4 Ref And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

5 Ref And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

6 Ref And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

7 Ref And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;

8 Ref And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

9 Ref And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
