Shemot 32:26-28

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁶ Then Moshe stood in the sha’ar of the machaneh, and said, Who is on Hashem’s side? Let him rally unto me. And all the Bnei Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

²⁷ And he said unto them, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Put every man his cherev by his side, and go in and out from sha’ar to sha’ar throughout the machaneh, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.

²⁸ And the Bnei Levi did according to the word of Moshe; and there fell of HaAm that day about three thousand men.
