Israel Sacrifices to Baal

25 And Israel remained at ^(A)Shittim, and the people began ^(B)to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab. ² Indeed ^(C)they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. ³ So ^(D)Israel joined themselves to ^[a]Baal of Peor, and the anger of Yahweh burned against Israel. ⁴ And Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all who are the heads of the people and execute them ^[b]in broad daylight before Yahweh, ^(E)so that the burning anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.” ⁵ So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you ^(F)kill his men who have joined themselves to ^[c]Baal of Peor.”
