2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined itself unto Baal of Peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses,
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay you every one his men that were joined unto Baal of Peor.
