Commentary on Numbers 25:5

Theological / Devotional

The judges of Israel. Probably the 70 elders (Num. 11:25; cf. Ex. 18:12). There is no record of the execution of the command to slay the partakers of the idolatrous feast.

Every one his men. Each chief or elder would carry out the sentence upon those under his authority and for whom he was responsible (see Ex. 18:25, 26 ; 32:27).
