LORD
may be

seeing
this
, Phinehas

in his hand ,
And
he
went
after
the man
of
Israel
into the
tent, and thrust
both of them through ,
the man
of

and the
woman
through her
belly. So the plague was

son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the children
of
Israel,
while
he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed
not the children
of
Israel
in my jealousy
.
“
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
.
Wherefore
say
, Behold
, I give
unto
him my covenant of peace :
Declare
, therefore
, that
I am
granting
him My covenant of peace .
And
he
shall
have
it ,
and
his
seed
after
him,
even
the
covenant of an
everlasting
priesthood ;
because he was zealous for his God ,
and made an
atonement for the children
of
Israel
.
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
. ”
Now
the name of the Israelite that

son of Salu, a
prince

house
among
the
Simeonites
.
The name of the Israelite who

a chief house
in
Midian

And the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
And the LORD said
to
Moses,
Vex
the Midianites ,
and smite
them :
“Attack
the Midianites and strike
them dead.
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 a
prince
of
Midian,
their
sister
, which
was slain
in
the day of
the plague for
Peor's
sake
.
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
. ”
