Midrasz do Liczb 25:16

and when Balak saw that Balaam was not willing to follow his words, he rose up and went to ‎his home, and Balaam also returned to his home in Midian. And the children of Israel ‎journeyed from the plain of Moab and encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-hajesi moth up to ‎Abel-shittim in the end of the plain of Moab. And when the children of Israel abode in the ‎plain of Shittim they began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab. For when the ‎children of Israel approached Moab, and the people of Moab pitched their tents opposite the ‎camp of Israel, the Moabites were in great fear of the children of Israel, and they took their ‎daughters and wives who were of fine figure and comely appearance, and they dressed them ‎in silver and in gold and in costly garments; and the children of Moab placed those women in ‎the doors of their tents, that the children of Israel might incline to them and not fight against ‎Moab; and the children of Israel turned unto the daughters of Moab, and they were charmed ‎with them and went after them. And when a Hebrew came to the door of a Moabitish tent ‎and he saw the daughter of Moab, he felt a desire for her in his heart, and he spoke unto her ‎as he pleased. And while they were en gaged in conversation, the men of Moab would come ‎out of the tent and address the Hebrew in words like these, saying: Are we not brethren, all ‎the descendants of Lot and the descendants of Abraham his brother, wherefore then do you ‎not abide with us, and wherefore do you not eat of our bread and of our sacrifices? And when ‎the Moabites had thus spoken and enticed him with their smooth words, they seated him in ‎the tent and they slaughtered and sacrificed before him, and he ate of their bread and ‎sacrifices; and they gave him wine and he drank, and when they had him intoxicated they ‎placed a beautiful maiden before him, and he did with her according to his pleasure, for he ‎knew not what he was doing after having drunk such an abundance of wine. Thus did the sons ‎of Moab unto Israel in that place in the valley of Shittim.‎‏ ‏And the anger of the Lord was kindled ‎against the children of Israel on that account, and he sent a pestilence among them, and there ‎died of Israel twenty-four thousand men.‎‏ ‏And there was a man of the children of Simeon, ‎Zimri, son of Salu, was his name, and he enjoyed the person of the Midianite, Cobi, daughter ‎of Zur, king of Midian, before the eyes of all the children of Israel; and when Phineas, son of ‎Eleazar, son of Aaron, the priest, saw this great wickedness of Zimri, Phineas went and took a ‎spear into his hands, and he followed them and pierced both of them through, and slew them. ‎So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.‎
