While
Israel was
staying
in Shittim ,
the men
began to indulge
in
sexual
immorality
with the daughters of Moab ,
And
Israel abode
in Shittim ;
and
the people
began to play
the
harlot
with the daughters of Moab :
who
also
invited
them
to
the sacrifices for
their gods .
And the people ate
and bowed down to these
gods.
for
they
called
the people
unto
the
sacrifices of
their gods ;
and the people did
eat,
and bowed down to their
gods.
So
Israel joined in
worshiping
Baal of
Peor ,
and the anger of the
LORD
burned
against them
.
And
Israel joined himself
unto
Baal -
peor :
and the anger of Jehovah
was
kindled
against Israel
.
Then
the
LORD
said to
Moses, “
Take all the leaders
of the people and execute
them in
broad
daylight
before the LORD
, so
that His
fierce anger may turn away from Israel. ”
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Take all the chiefs
of the people ,
and hang
them up
unto
Jehovah
before the sun
, that the
fierce anger of
Jehovah
may turn away from Israel.
So
Moses told
the judges of Israel, “Each
of
you
must
kill
all
of
his men who
have joined in
worshiping
Baal of
Peor. ”
And
Moses said
unto
the judges of Israel, Slay
ye
every
one
his men that
have joined themselves
unto
Baal -
peor.
Just
then
an
Israelite
man
brought to
his family
a Midianite
woman in the sight of Moses and the whole
congregation of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance
to
the Tent of Meeting.
And,
behold,
one
of
the
children
of
Israel
came
and
brought unto
his brethren
a Midianitish
woman in the sight of Moses ,
and in
the sight
of
all
the
congregation of the
children
of
Israel ,
while they were weeping at the door
of
the tent of meeting.
On
seeing
this,
Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, got
up from the assembly
, took a spear in his hand ,
And
when
Phinehas ,
the
son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw
it,
he
rose
up from the midst
of
the
congregation
, and
took a spear in his hand ;
followed
the Israelite
into his
tent
, and drove
the
spear
through
both of them —
through the
Israelite
and
on
through
the belly
of the woman. So the plague against
the
Israelites
was halted,
and
he
went
after
the man
of
Israel
into the
pavilion
, and thrust
both of them through ,
the man
of Israel,
and
the woman through
her
body
. So the plague was stayed
from
the
children
of
Israel.
but
those who
died in
the plague numbered
24,000
.
And
those that
died by
the plague were
twenty
and
four
thousand
.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“
Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has
turned My wrath away from the Israelites;
for
he was zealous
for
My sake
among them, so that I did
not consume
the Israelites
in My zeal
.
Phinehas ,
the
son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the children
of
Israel,
in
that
he was jealous
with
my jealousy
among them, so that I consumed
not the children
of
Israel
in my jealousy
.
Declare
, therefore
, that
I am
granting
him My covenant of peace .
Wherefore
say
, Behold
, I give
unto
him my covenant of peace :
It will
be a
covenant
of
permanent
priesthood
for
him and his descendants
, because he was zealous
for his God and made atonement for the Israelites
. ”
and
it shall
be unto
him ,
and to
his seed
after
him
, the
covenant
of
an
everlasting
priesthood;
because he was jealous
for his God ,
and made atonement for the children
of
Israel
.
The name of the Israelite
who was slain with the Midianite
woman was Zimri son of Salu, the
leader
of a Simeonite
family
.
Now
the name of the man
of
Israel
that
was
slain,
who was slain with the Midianitish
woman ,
was Zimri ,
the
son of Salu, a
prince
of a fathers'
house
among
the
Simeonites
.
And the name of the slain
Midianite
woman was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur ,
a
tribal
chief
of a Midianite
family
.
And the name of the Midianitish
woman that
was slain
was
Cozbi, the daughter of Zur ;
he
was
head
of the
people
of
a fathers'
house
in
Midian
.
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“Attack
the Midianites and strike
them dead.
Vex
the Midianites ,
and smite
them ;
For they assailed
you deceitfully
when
they seduced
you in the matter of Peor and their
sister
Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite
leader
, the
woman
who was killed
on the day the plague came
because
of Peor. ”
for they vex
you with
their
wiles,
wherewith
they have
beguiled
you in the matter of Peor ,
and in
the
matter
of
Cozbi, the daughter of the prince
of
Midian
, their
sister,
who was slain
on the day of
the plague in
the
matter
of Peor.
