Numbers 25
25:1And Israel rested up in Shittim, and the people profaned to fornicate with the daughters of Moab.
25:2And they called them unto the sacrifices of their idols, and the people ate of their sacrifices, and they did obeisance to their idols.
25:3And Israel was initiated to Baal-peor; and the lord was provoked to anger in rage with Israel.
25:4And the lord said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and make an example of them for the lord over against the sun! and the anger of the rage of the lord shall turn away from Israel.
25:5And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Let each kill the one of his family being initiated to Baal-Peor!
25:6And behold, a man of the sons of Israel coming, led forward his brother to the Midianitish woman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the sons of Israel. And they were weeping by the door of the tent of the testimony.
25:7And seeing, Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, rose up from the midst of the congregation, and taking a spear in his hand,
25:8he entered after the Israelitish man into the furnace, and he pierced both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the calamity ceased from the sons of Israel.
25:9And the ones having died by the calamity were four and twenty thousand.
25:10And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,
25:11Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, caused my rage to cease from the sons of Israel, in my being jealous in the zeal for them; and I did not completely consume the sons of Israel in my zeal.
25:12Thus say! Behold, I make with him my covenant of peace;
25:13and it will be to him and to his seed after him a covenant of an eternal priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and he atoned for the sons of Israel.
25:14And the name of the Israelitish man being struck, who was stricken with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri son of Salu, ruler of the house of the family of Simeon.
25:15And the name of the Midianitish woman being struck, was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, a ruler of the nation of Ommoth; it is of the house of the family of the ones of Midian.
25:16And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel! saying,
25:17Hate the Midianites, and strike them!
25:18For with deceit they are hating you, with as many things they used deceit against you through Peor, even through Cozbi, daughter of the ruler of Midian, their sister, the one being struck in the day of the calamity on account of Peor.
