Numbers 25:4-6
New International Version
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.”
5 So Moses said to Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death(E) those of your people who have yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor.”(F)
6 Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite(G) woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping(H) at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
