And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel. And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor. And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And when Phinehas, 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 he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.-Numbers 25:1-9***The Israelites were led away from Egyptian slavery by Moses and Moses' older brother Aaron as the Lord God led them in a pillar of a cloud by day and in a pillar of cloud by night. Moses, Aaron, their older sister Miriam, and their fellow Israelites walked across the dry bed of the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur on their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Men from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, the tribe of Miriam,  Aaron and Moses, killed approximately 3,000 Israelite men after Moses came down from his 1st stay of 40 days and nights upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God and saw the Israelites worshiping a golden calf. Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu were killed by fire from the Lord God after offering the Lord God a sacrifice of strange fire. The son of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian man was stoned to death after blaspheming the name of the Lord God. Ten Israelite spies died of a plague after being struck down following the frightening report they gave about the Promised Land, even as spies Caleb and Joshua spoke about victory. A man who gathered wood on the Sabbath day was stoned to death. Over 200 Israelites died in connection to the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; they were swallowed by the earth and a consuming fire was sent from the Lord God. An additional 14,700 died from a plague the Lord God sent as a result of the grumbling that followed the deaths of the rebels. Some Israelites died after being bitten by poisonous snakes sent by the Lord God, due to more grumbling. During the 40-year journey to the Promised Land, Miriam the prophetess died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the high  priest died. When the Israelites were camped in Shittim, they became involved with idol worshiping Moabites, following the instigations of Balaam, a known diviner. While the Israelites were crying and gathered in front of the tabernacle, Zimri, an Israelite from the tribe of Jacob's 2nd born son Simeon, committed a blatant act. Shortly thereafter, Moses went upon Mount Nebo, and the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried. Joshua was Moses' successor and led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants. Over 1,300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 24:10-23, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 15:32-36, 20:1-25:18, 27:12-23, 31:1-54, Deuteronomy 1:1-7:26, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 4:24-43, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
