Numbers 25:1-4 ▼

1 Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,

2 who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.

3 And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,

4 said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang them on gallows against the sun, so that my fury may be averted from Israel.”
