³ Israel became attached to the Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry at the Israelites. ⁴ The Lord said to Moses: Take all the leaders of the people and kill them on behalf of the Lord in broad daylight, so that the Lord’s anger turns away from Israel.

⁵ Then Moses said to Israel’s officials, “Each of you: kill your men who are attached to the Baal of Peor.”
