Numbers 25:2-4

New American Standard Bible

² For ^(A)they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. ³ So ^(B)Israel ^[a]became followers of ^[b]Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with Israel. ⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and ^[c]execute them ^[d]in broad daylight before the Lord, ^(C)so that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.”
