25 And Israel dwelleth in Shittim, and the people begin to go a-whoring unto daughters of Moab,

And Moses saith unto the judges of Israel, `Slay ye each his men who are joined to Baal-Peor.'

Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite(O) woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping(P) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. When Phinehas(Q) son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear(R) in his hand and followed the Israelite into the tent.
