Contextual Overview
1 When Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to commit sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab. 2 These women invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; then the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 When Israel joined themselves to Baal-peor, the anger of the Lord flared up against Israel. 4 The Lord said to Moses, "Arrest all the leaders of the people, and hang them up before the Lord in broad daylight, so that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel." 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Each of you must execute those of his men who were joined to Baal-peor."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel,.... Either the same with the heads of the people, or the rulers of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, according to the distribution by the advice of Jethro:
slay ye everyone his men, that were joined unto Baalpeor; all that were under their several districts and jurisdictions, that were found guilty of that crime; these they are ordered to slay, either with their own hands, or rather cause to be slain by proper persons they should appoint to be executioners.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 25:5. Slay ye every one his men — In the different departments where you preside over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, slay all the culprits that shall be found.
