Bamidbar 25:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁷ And when Pinchas ben Eleazar ben Aharon HaKohen saw it, he rose up from among HaEdah, and took a romach (spear) in his yad;

⁸ And he went after the ish Yisroel into the inner tent, and thrust through both of them, the ish Yisroel, and the isha through her belly. So the maggefah (plague) was stopped from the Bnei Yisroel.

⁹ And those that were the mesim (dead ones) in the maggefah (plague) were twenty and four thousand.
