Numbers 25

1And IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in ShittimH7851, and the peopleH5971 beganH2490 to commitH2181 whoredom with the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124: 2for they calledH7121 the peopleH5971 unto the sacrificesH2077 of their godsH430; and the peopleH5971 didH7812 eatH398, and bowedH7812 downH7812 to their godsH430. 3And IsraelH3478 joinedH6775 himself unto Baal-peorH1187: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 againstH2734 IsraelH3478. 4And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, TakeH3947 allH3605 the chiefsH7218 of the peopleH5971, and hangH3363 them upH853 unto the LORDH3068 beforeH5048 the sunH8121, that the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from IsraelH3478. 5And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, SlayH2026 ye everyH376 one his menH376 that have joinedH6775 themselves unto Baal-peorH1187. 6And, beholdH2009, one of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH935 unto his brethrenH251 a Midianitish womanH4084 in the sightH5869 of MosesH4872, and in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, whileH2009 they were weepingH1058 at the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 7And when 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 intoH413 the pavilion, and thrustH1856 bothH8147 of them throughH1856, the manH376 of IsraelH3478, and the womanH802 throughH1856 herH413 belly. SoH935 the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 9And thoseH1961 that diedH4191 by the plagueH4046 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505. 10And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 11PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, hath turnedH7725 my wrathH2534 awayH7725 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, in that he was jealousH7065 with my jealousyH7068 among them, soH3808 that I consumedH3615 notH3808 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in my jealousyH7068. 12Wherefore sayH559, BeholdH2005, I giveH5414 unto him my covenantH1285 of peaceH7965: 13and it shall be unto him, and to his seedH2233 afterH310 him, the covenantH1285 of an everlastingH5769 priesthoodH3550; becauseH5921 he was jealousH7065 for his GodH430, and madeH1961 atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 14Now the nameH8034 of the manH376 of IsraelH3478 that was slainH5221, who was slainH5221 with the Midianitish womanH4084, was ZimriH2174, the sonH1121 of Salu, a princeH5387 of a fathers’H1 houseH1004 among the SimeonitesH8099. 15And the nameH8034 of the Midianitish womanH802 that was slainH5221 was CozbiH3579, the daughterH1323 of ZurH6698; he was headH7218 of the peopleH523 of a fathers’H1 houseH1004 in MidianH4080. 16And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 17Vex the MidianitesH4084, and smiteH5221 them: 18for they vex youH834 with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled youH834 in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465, and in the matterH1697 of CozbiH3579, the daughterH1323 of the princeH5387 of MidianH4080, their sisterH269, whichH834 was slainH5221 on the dayH3117 of the plagueH4046 in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465.
