Numbers 25:6-14
6Then beholdH2009, oneH376 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH7126 to his 1relativesH251 a 2MidianiteH4084 womanH4084, in the sightH5869 of MosesH4872 and in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 3while they were weepingH1058 at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 74When 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 5tentH6898 and piercedH1856 bothH8147 of them throughH1856, the manH376 of IsraelH3478 and the womanH802, throughH413 the 6bodyH6896. 7So the plagueH4046 on the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 was checkedH6113. 98Those who diedH4191 by the plagueH4046 were 24,000H6242H702H505.
10Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 11“9PhinehasH6372 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 10in My jealousyH7068. 12ThereforeH3651 sayH559, ‘11BeholdH2009, I giveH5414 him My 12covenantH1285 of peaceH7965; 13and it shall be for him and his 13descendantsH2233 afterH310 him, a covenantH1285 of a 14perpetualH5769 priesthoodH3550, becauseH834H8478 he was jealousH7065 for his GodH430 and 15madeH3722 atonementH3722 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.’”
14Now the nameH8034 of the 16slainH5221 manH376 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 was 17slainH5221 with the MidianiteH4084 womanH4084, was ZimriH2174 the sonH1121 of SaluH5543, a leaderH5387 of a father’sH1 householdH1004 among the SimeonitesH8099.
