⁴ The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders^(A) of these people, kill them and expose^(B) them in broad daylight before the Lord,^(C) so that the Lord’s fierce anger^(D) may turn away from Israel.”

¹⁴ Let our officials act for the whole assembly. Then let everyone in our towns who has married a foreign woman come at a set time, along with the elders and judges^(A) of each town, until the fierce anger^(B) of our God in this matter is turned away from us.”
