1 And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring after the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices, and worshipped their idols.
3 And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examples of judgment for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay ye every one his friend that is consecrated to Beel-phegor.
6 And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
7 And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand,
8 and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
