Numbers 25:1-9

Baal Worship at Peor

1While Israel lived in aShittim, bthe people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. 2 cThese invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. 4And the Lord said to Moses, dTake all the chiefs of the people and ehang
Or impale
them in the sun before the Lord, gthat the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.”
5And Moses said to hthe judges of Israel, iEach of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor.”

6And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were jweeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting. 7 kWhen Phinehas lthe son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand 8and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped. 9Nevertheless, mthose who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

Psalms 106:29

29they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
