78 : Basic English : Numbers 25,26; Psalms 66 1. Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:
2. For they sent for the people to be present at the offerings made to their gods; and the people took part in their feasts and gave honour to their gods.
3. So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.
4. Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned from Israel.
5. So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.

4. And God came to Balaam, and Balaam said to him, I have made ready seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.
5. And the Lord put words in Balaam's mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.

3. And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.

4. Then let Eleazar the priest take some of her blood on his finger, shaking the blood seven times in the direction of the front of the Tent of meeting:
