1 While Israel remained encamped in Shittim, the people began to commit sexual immorality with Moabite women, 2 who also invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods. So the people ate what they had sacrificed and then worshipped their gods. 3 The people joined the Baal-peor cult. As a result, the anger of the LORD flared up against Israel, 4 so the LORD told Moses, |Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight for the LORD, so the LORD's burning anger may be withdrawn from Israel.| 5 Then Moses ordered the judges of Israel, |Each one of you is to execute the men in his own tribe who joined the Baal-peor cult.| Numbers 25:1-5, Intl.
