Numbers 25:3-18

3So 1IsraelH3478 joinedH6775 themselves to 2BaalH1187 of PeorH1187, and the LordH3068 was angryH639H2734 against IsraelH3478. 4The LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “TakeH3947 allH3605 the leadersH7218 of the peopleH5971 and executeH3363 them 3in broadH5048 daylightH8121 before the LordH3068, 4so that the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LordH3068 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from IsraelH3478.” 5So MosesH4872 saidH559 to the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, “EachH376 of you 5slayH2026 his menH376 who have joinedH6775 themselves to 6BaalH1187 of PeorH1187.”

6Then beholdH2009, oneH376 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH7126 to his 7relativesH251 a 8MidianiteH4084 womanH4084, in the sightH5869 of MosesH4872 and in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 9while they were weepingH1058 at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 710When PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, sawH7200 it, he aroseH6965 from the midstH8432 of the congregationH5712 and tookH3947 a spearH7420 in his handH3027, 8and he wentH935 afterH310 the manH376 of IsraelH3478 into the 11tentH6898 and piercedH1856 bothH8147 of them throughH1856, the manH376 of IsraelH3478 and the womanH802, throughH413 the 12bodyH6896. 13So the plagueH4046 on the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 was checkedH6113. 914Those who diedH4191 by the plagueH4046 were 24,000H6242H702H505.

10Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 11“15PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, has turnedH7725 awayH7725 My wrathH2534 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in that he was jealousH7065 with My jealousyH7068 amongH8432 them, so that I did not destroyH3615 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 16in My jealousyH7068. 12ThereforeH3651 sayH559, ‘17BeholdH2009, I giveH5414 him My 18covenantH1285 of peaceH7965; 13and it shall be for him and his 19descendantsH2233 afterH310 him, a covenantH1285 of a 20perpetualH5769 priesthoodH3550, becauseH834H8478 he was jealousH7065 for his GodH430 and 21madeH3722 atonementH3722 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.’”

14Now the nameH8034 of the 22slainH5221 manH376 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 was 23slainH5221 with the MidianiteH4084 womanH4084, was ZimriH2174 the sonH1121 of SaluH5543, a leaderH5387 of a father’sH1 householdH1004 among the SimeonitesH8099. 15The nameH8034 of the MidianiteH4084 womanH802 who was 24slainH5221 was 25CozbiH3579 the daughterH1323 of 26ZurH6698, 27whoH1931 was headH7218 of the peopleH523 of a father’sH1 householdH1004 in MidianH4080.

16Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 17“28Be hostileH6887 to the MidianitesH4084 and strikeH5221 them; 18for they have beenH6887 hostileH6887 to you with their tricksH5231, with whichH834 they have deceivedH5230 you in the affairH1697 of PeorH6465 and in the affairH1697 of CozbiH3579, the daughterH1323 of the leaderH5387 of MidianH4080, their sisterH269 who was slainH5221 on the dayH3117 of the plagueH4046 becauseH5921H1697 of PeorH6465.”
