Moses will see the orgy, and Moses will stand at the gate, and the people will congregate, and Moses will say thus the LORD says/said a man placed his sword upon his side, crossed back and forth from gate to gate in the encampment and killed, a man against his brother ....

 

And the sons of Levi will be doing as Moses had said, and shall fall among the people on that day, about 3000 man.

 

And Moses will say, they fill(ed) your hand today to the LORD as man in his son, and in his brother, and to give you today blessing.

 

And it will be from tomorrow Moses will/shall say, to the people, you have sinned a great sin .... Maybe I should make atonement for your sin?

It is time we flushed the worthless inversive-vav theory away. But we can't because a lot of established doctrines would be thrown with the dirty bath water. Perhaps those established doctrines are the dirty bath water.

The English translations do not even bother to reflect the sarcasm of Moses.
