Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor . . . the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you--It appears that the pestilence and the sword of justice overtook only the guilty in that affair (Num 25:1-9) while the rest of the people were spared.

3 And Israel [03478] joined [06775] himself unto Baalpeor [01187]: and the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Israel [03478].
4 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Take [03947] all the heads [07218] of the people [05971], and hang them up [03363] before [05048] the LORD [03068] against the sun [08121], that the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] may be turned away [07725] from Israel [03478].
5 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the judges [08199] of Israel [03478], Slay [02026] ye every [0376] one [0376] his men [0582] that were joined [06775] unto Baalpeor [01187].
6 And, behold, one [0376] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] came [0935] and brought [07126] unto his brethren [0251] a Midianitish woman [04084] in the sight [05869] of Moses [04872], and in the sight [05869] of all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], who were weeping [01058] before the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
7 And when Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499], the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], saw [07200] it, he rose up [06965] from among [08432] the congregation [05712], and took [03947] a javelin [07420] in his hand [03027];

So the plague [04046] was stayed [06113] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
9 And those that died [04191] in the plague [04046] were twenty [06242] and four [0702] thousand [0505].
