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.
