1. And Yisra’ĕl dwelt in Shittim, and the people began to whore with the daughters of Mo’aḇ,
2. and they invited the people to the slaughterings of their mighty ones, and the people ate and bowed down to their mighty ones.
3. Thus Yisra’ĕl was joined to Ba‛al Pe‛or, and the displeasure of יהוה burned against Yisra’ĕl.
4. And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take all the leaders of the people and hang them up before יהוה, before the sun, so that the burning displeasure of יהוה turns away from Yisra’ĕl.”
5. And Mosheh said to the judges of Yisra’ĕl, “Each one of you slay his men who were joined to Ba‛al Pe‛or.”
