NU-25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to
commit whoredom
with the daughters of Moab.
NU-25:2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their
gods: and the
people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
NU-25:3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger
of the LORD
was kindled against Israel.
NU-25:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the
people, and
hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce
anger of the
LORD may be turned away from Israel.
NU-25:5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every
one his men
that were joined unto Baalpeor.
NU-25:6 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, who [were] weeping
[before] the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
NU-25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron
the priest,
saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a
javelin in his
hand;
NU-25:8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and
thrust both of
them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly.
So the
plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
NU-25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four
thousand.
NU-25:10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-25:11 Phinehas, the 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.
NU-25:12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of
peace:
NU-25:13 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.
NU-25:14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even]
that was slain
with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a
prince of a chief
house among the Simeonites.
NU-25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain
[was] Cozbi,
the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a people, [and] of a
chief house in
Midian.
NU-25:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
NU-25:18 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.
