The Sin at Baal-peor

Numbers 25:1-5

Isra'el stayed at Sheetim, and there the people began whoring with the women of Mo'av.

These women invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, where the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

With Isra'el thus joined to Ba'al-P'or, the anger of ADONAI blazed up against Isra'el.

ADONAI said to Moshe, "Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them facing the sun before ADONAI, so that the raging fury of ADONAI will turn away from Isra'el."

Moshe said to the judges of Isra'el, "Each of you is to put to death those in his tribe who have joined themselves to Ba'al-P'or."
