BRAGADAYJAH
471
Now
while the children of Israel dwelt at Shittim, they began to commit harlotry
with the daughters of Moab. And the
people were invited to feast with their gods and to bow down and worship their
gods including the god Baal-Peor and the wrath of God was kindled against
Israel.
And
the Lord God told Moses to take all the heads of the people and hand them up in
the sun before the face of the Lord that His fierce anger against the people of
Israel may be abated.
So Moses
ordered the judges to slay every one of his men that walked after Baal-Peor. And one of the children of Israel came and
brought unto his brethren in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of the
congregation of Israel a Medianitish woman who wept before the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
And
when Phenihas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest saw it, he rose
up from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand and went into the
tent and ran through both the man of Israel and his Medianitish woman killing
them both and the plague was stayed rom among Israel; for those who had died
from the plague were twenty four thousand.
