Numbers 25:3-5

Living Bible

³ Before long all Israel was joining freely in the worship of Baal, the god of Moab; and the anger of the Lord was hot against his people.

⁴ He issued the following command to Moses:

“Execute all the tribal leaders of Israel. Hang them up before the Lord in broad daylight, so that his fierce anger will turn away from the people.”

⁵ So Moses ordered the judges to execute all who had worshiped Baal.
