Numbers 25:1-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Sin of Peor
25 While Israel remained at (A)Shittim, the people began (B)to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab. 2 For (C)they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So (D)Israel joined themselves to [a]Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry against Israel. 4 The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute them [b]in broad daylight before the Lord, (E)so that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.” 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you (F)slay his men who have joined themselves to [c]Baal of Peor.”

28 They (A)joined themselves also to [a]Baal-peor,
And ate (B)sacrifices offered to the dead.

And the plague broke out among them.
