Numbers 25:6-14
6Then beholdH2009, oneH376 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH7126 to his relativesH251 a 1MidianiteH4084 womanH4084, in the sightH5869 of MosesH4872 and in the sightH5869 of the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 2while they were weepingH1058 at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 73When PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, sawH7200 it, he roseH6965 upH6965 from the midstH8432 of the congregationH5712 and tookH3947 a spearH7420 in his handH3027, 8and he wentH935 afterH310 the manH376 of IsraelH3478 into the innerH6898 roomH6898 ofH6898 theH6898 tentH6898 and piercedH1856 bothH8147 of them, the manH376 of IsraelH3478 and the womanH802, throughH413 the abdomenH6896. 4So the plagueH4046 on the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 was broughtH6113 toH6113 aH6113 haltH6113. 95But those who diedH4191 from the plagueH4046 were twenty-fourH6242H702 thousandH505 in number.
10Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 11“6PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, has avertedH7725 My wrathH2534 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in that he wasH7065 7jealousH7065 with My 8jealousyH7068 amongH8432 them, so that I did not destroyH3615 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 9in My 10jealousyH7068. 12ThereforeH3651 sayH559, ‘11BeholdH2009, I am givingH5414 him My 12covenantH1285 of peaceH7965; 13and it shall be for him and for his 13descendantsH2233 afterH310 him, a covenantH1285 of a 14permanentH5769 priesthoodH3550, becauseH834H8478 he wasH7065 15jealousH7065 for his GodH430 and 16madeH3722 atonementH3722 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.’”
14Now the nameH8034 of the 17deadH5221 manH376 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 was killedH5221 with the MidianiteH4084 womanH4084, was ZimriH2174 the sonH1121 of SaluH5543, a leaderH5387 of a father’sH1 householdH1004 among the SimeonitesH8099.
