Berean Standard Bible
And
Israel dwelleth
in Shittim, and
the people
begin
to go
a-whoring
unto
daughters of Moab,
While
Israel was
staying
in Shittim, the men
began
to indulge
in
sexual
immorality
with
the
daughters of Moab,
and
they
call
for
the
people
to the sacrifices of
their gods ,
and the people eat,
and bow
themselves
to their
gods ,
who
also
invited
them
to the sacrifices for
their gods .
And the people ate
and bowed
down
to these
gods .
and
Israel is
joined to
Baal -
Peor, and the anger of Jehovah
burneth
against Israel
.
So
Israel joined in
worshiping
Baal of
Peor, and the anger of the
LORD
burned
against them
.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `
Take all the chiefs
of the people ,
and hang
them before Jehovah
--
over-against
the sun;
and
the
fierceness
of
the
anger of
Jehovah
doth
turn back
from 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
Moses saith
unto
the judges of Israel, `Slay
ye
each his men who are
joined to
Baal -
Peor. '
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
lo,
a
man of
the
sons
of
Israel
hath
come,
and
bringeth
in
unto
his brethren
the
Midianitess,
before
the eyes
of Moses ,
and before
the eyes
of
all
the
company
of
the
sons
of Israel ,
who
are
weeping at the opening
of
the tent of meeting ;
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
Phinehas
, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron ,
the priest, seeth,
and
riseth
from the midst
of
the
company
, and
taketh
a javelin
in his hand,
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 goeth
in
after
the man
of Israel
unto
the hollow
place,
and pierceth
them
both,
the man
of Israel
and
the woman --
unto
her
belly,
and
the plague is
restrained
from
the sons
of
Israel;
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
the
dead
by
the plague are
four
and
twenty
thousand
.
but
those
who
died
in
the plague numbered
24,000
.
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses, saying,
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
`
Phinehas ,
son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned back
My fury
from the sons
of
Israel,
by
his
being
zealous with
My zeal
in
their
midst
, and
I have
not consumed
the sons
of
Israel
in My zeal.
“
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.
`Therefore
say
, Lo
, I am giving
to
him My covenant of peace ,
Declare
, therefore
, that
I am granting
him My covenant of peace .
and
it hath
been
to
him
and
to
his
seed
after
him
a covenant of a
priesthood age-during
, because that
he hath
been
zealous for his God ,
and doth
make
atonement for the sons
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
. ”
And
the name of the man
of
Israel
who
is
smitten,
who hath
been
smitten
with the Midianitess,
`is'
Zimri son of Salu, prince
of
the house
of a father
of
the
Simeonite ;
The name of the Israelite
who was
slain
with the Midianite
woman
was
Zimri son of Salu, the leader
of a Simeonite family.
and the name of the woman who
is
smitten
, the Midianitess,
`is'
Cozbi
daughter of Zur, head
of
a people
--
of
the
house
of a father
in
Midian
`is'
he
.
And the name of the slain
Midianite
woman was
Cozbi
, the daughter of Zur, a tribal
chief
of a Midianite
family
.
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses, saying,
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
`Distress
the Midianites ,
and ye
have
smitten
them ,
“Attack
the Midianites and strike
them dead.
for they are
adversaries
to
you with
their
frauds,
`with'
which
they have
acted
fraudulently
to
you ,
concerning
the matter of Peor ,
and concerning
the
matter
of
Cozbi, daughter of a
prince
of
Midian,
their
sister
, who is
smitten
in
the day of
the plague for
the
matter
of Peor. '
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. ”
