Numbers 25:2-4

Good News Translation

² These women invited them to sacrificial feasts, where the god of Moab was worshiped. The Israelites ate the food and worshiped the god ³ Baal of Peor. So the Lord was angry with them ⁴ and said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of Israel and, in obedience to me, execute them in broad daylight,^[a] and then I will no longer be angry with the people.”
