* And Israel abode in Shittim , and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab . * And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods : and the people did eat , and bowed down to their gods . * And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor : and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel . * And the LORD said unto Moses , Take all the heads of the people , and hang them up before the LORD against the sun , that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel . * And Moses said unto the judges of Israel , Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor . * And , behold , one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses , and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel , who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation . * And when Phinehas , the son of Eleazar , the son of Aaron the priest , saw it , he rose up from among the congregation , and took a javelin in his hand ; * And he went after the man of Israel into the tent , and thrust both of them through , the man of Israel , and the woman through her belly . So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel . * And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand .
