“And he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. ”
“He said to them, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'"”
“And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour.”
“And he said to them, This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Let every man take his sword at his side, and go from one end of the tents to the other, putting to death his brother and his friend and his neighbour.”

Moses saw that the people were running wild, for Aaron had let them get completely out of control, causing derision from their enemies.
So Moses stood at the entrance of the camp and said,“Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” All the Levites gathered around him,
and he said to them,“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, has said‘Each man fasten his sword on his side, and go back and forth from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and each one kill his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’”
The Levites did what Moses ordered, and that day about three thousand men of the people died.
Moses said,“You have been consecrated today for the LORD, for each of you was against his son or against his brother, so he has given a blessing to you today.”
The next day Moses said to the people,“You have committed a very serious sin, but now I will go up to the LORD– perhaps I can make atonement on behalf of your sin.”
