And IsraelH3478 stayedH3427 in Shittim,H7851 and the peopleH5971 beganH2490 to commitH2181 prostitutionH2181 with the daughtersH1323 of Moab.H4124
2
And they calledH7121 the peopleH5971 to the sacrificesH2077 of their gods:H430 and the peopleH5971 did eat,H398 and bowedH7812 downH7812 to their gods.H430
3
And IsraelH3478 joinedH6775 himself to Baalpeor:H1187 and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against Israel.H3478
4
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Moses,H4872 TakeH3947 allH3605 the headsH7218 of the people,H5971 and hangH3363 them up before the LORDH3068 againstH5048 the sun,H8121 that the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 may be turnedH7725 away from Israel.H3478
5
And MosesH4872 saidH559 to the judgesH8199 of Israel,H3478 SlayH2026 you everyH376 oneH376 his menH582 that were joinedH6775 to Baalpeor.H1187
6
And, behold,H2009 oneH376 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH7126 to his brothersH251 a MidianitishH4084 woman in the sightH5869 of Moses,H4872 and in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 whoH1992 were weepingH1058 before the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregation.H4150
7
And when Phinehas,H6372 the sonH1121 of Eleazar,H499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priest,H3548 sawH7200 it, he roseH6965 up from amongH8432 the congregation,H5712 and tookH3947 a javelinH7420 in his hand;H3027
8
And he wentH935 afterH310 the manH376 of IsraelH3478 intoH413 the tent,H6898 and thrustH1856 bothH8147 of them through, the manH376 of Israel,H3478 and the womanH802 throughH413 her belly.H6897 So the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
9
And those that diedH4191 in the plagueH4046 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousand.H505
10
And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559
11
Phinehas,H6372 the sonH1121 of Eleazar,H499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priest,H3548 has turnedH7725 my wrathH2534 away from the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 while he was zealousH7065 for my sakeH7068 amongH8432 them, that I consumedH3615 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in my jealousy.H7068
12
WhyH3651 say,H559 Behold,H2005 I giveH5414 to him my covenantH1285 of peace:H7965
13
And he shall haveH1961 it, and his seedH2233 afterH310 him, even the covenantH1285 of an everlastingH5769 priesthood;H3550 becauseH8478 H834 he was zealousH7065 for his God,H430 and made an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
14
Now the nameH8034 of the IsraeliteH1121 H3478 that was slain,H5221 even that was slainH5221 with the MidianitishH4084 woman, was Zimri,H2174 the sonH1121 of Salu,H5543 a princeH5387 of a chiefH1 houseH1004 among the Simeonites.H8099
15
And the nameH8034 of the MidianitishH4084 womanH802 that was slainH5221 was Cozbi,H3579 the daughterH1323 of Zur;H6698 he was headH7218 over a people,H523 and of a chiefH1 houseH1004 in Midian.H4080
16
And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559
17
VexH6887 the Midianites,H4084 and smiteH5221 them:
18
For they vexH6887 you with their wiles,H5231 with whichH834 they have beguiledH5230 you in the matterH1697 of Peor,H6465 and in the matterH1697 of Cozbi,H3579 the daughterH1323 of a princeH5387 of Midian,H4080 their sister,H269 which was slainH5221 in the dayH3117 of the plagueH4046 for Peor'sH6465 sake.H1697
