Numbers 25:4-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴ The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute^[a] them in broad daylight before the Lord so that His burning anger may turn away from Israel.”

⁵ So Moses told Israel’s judges, “Kill each of the men who aligned themselves with Baal of Peor.”

Phinehas Intervenes

⁶ An Israelite man came bringing a Midianite woman to his relatives in the sight of Moses and the whole Israelite community while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
