2 aThey invited the people to bthe sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and cbowed down to their gods.
3 So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and athe anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel.
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“Take all the leaders of the people and hang the offenders before the Lord, out in the sun, bthat the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.”
5 So Moses said to athe judges of Israel, b“Every one of you kill his men who were joined to Baal of Peor.”
6 And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, awho were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
