Numbers 25:1-4 ▼

1 And Israel dwells in Shittim, and the people begin to go whoring to daughters of Moab,

2 and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people eat and bow themselves to their gods,

3 and Israel is joined to Ba‘al-Peor, and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel.

4 And YHWH says to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them before YHWH in sight of the sun; and the fierceness of the anger of YHWH turns back from Israel.”
