* And Israel abode in Shittim , and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab Mow #ab #. * 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 Ba #al P @#owr #: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel Yisra #el #. * 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 Yisra #el #. * And Moses said unto the judges of Israel Yisra #el #, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor Ba #al P @#owr #. * 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 Yisra #el #, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #ed #. * And when Phinehas , the son of Eleazar #El #azar #, 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 Yisra #el #, and the woman through her belly . So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel Yisra #el #.
