Numbers 25:1-4 ▼

1 And Israel remained in Shittim, and the people began to prostitute themselves with the daughters of Moab.

2 And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

3 And Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel.

4 And YHWH said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang the offenders before YHWH out in the sun, that the burning of the nose of YHWH may turn away from Israel.”
