1 When Israel dwelled in Shittim, 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 worshiped their gods.
3 So Israel was joined together to Baal Peor, and Yahweh became angry with Israel.
4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and kill them before the sun, so the fierce anger of Yahweh will turn from Israel.”
