And IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in ShittimH7851, and the peopleH5971 beganH2490 to commit whoredomH2181 with the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124.
And they calledH7121 the peopleH5971 unto the sacrificesH2077 of their godsH430: and the peopleH5971 did eatH398, and bowed downH7812 to their godsH430.
And IsraelH3478 joinedH6775 himself unto BaalpeorH1187: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, TakeH3947 all the headsH7218 of the peopleH5971, and hang them upH3363 beforeH5048 the LORDH3068 against the sunH8121, that the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 may be turned awayH7725 from IsraelH3478.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, SlayH2026 ye everyH376 oneH376 his menH582 that were joinedH6775 unto BaalpeorH1187.
And, behold, oneH376 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH7126 unto his brethrenH251 a Midianitish womanH4084 in the sightH5869 of MosesH4872, and in the sightH5869 of all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, who were weepingH1058 before the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And when PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, sawH7200 it, he rose upH6965 from amongH8432 the congregationH5712, and tookH3947 a javelinH7420 in his handH3027;
And he wentH935 afterH310 the manH376 of IsraelH3478 into the tentH6898, and thrustH1856 bothH8147 of them through, the manH376 of IsraelH3478, and the womanH802 throughH413 her bellyH6897. So the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And those that diedH4191 in the plagueH4046 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, hath turnedH7725 my wrathH2534 awayH7725 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, while he was zealousH7065 for my sakeH7068 amongH8432 them, that I consumedH3615 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in my jealousyH7068. {for…: Heb. with my zeal}
Wherefore sayH559, Behold, I giveH5414 unto him my covenantH1285 of peaceH7965:
And he shall have it, and his seedH2233 afterH310 him, even the covenantH1285 of an everlastingH5769 priesthoodH3550; becauseH834 he was zealousH7065 for his GodH430, and made an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Now the nameH8034 of the IsraeliteH376 that was slainH5221, even that was slainH5221 with the Midianitish womanH4084, was ZimriH2174, the sonH1121 of SaluH5543, a princeH5387 of a chiefH1 houseH1004 among the SimeonitesH8099. {chief…: Heb. house of a father}
And the nameH8034 of the MidianitishH4084 womanH802 that was slainH5221 was CozbiH3579, the daughterH1323 of ZurH6698; he was headH7218 over a peopleH523, and of a chiefH1 houseH1004 in MidianH4080.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
VexH6887 the MidianitesH4084, and smiteH5221 them:
For they vexH6887 you with their wilesH5231, wherewith they have beguiledH5230 you in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465, and in the matterH1697 of CozbiH3579, the daughterH1323 of a princeH5387 of MidianH4080, their sisterH269, which was slainH5221 in the dayH3117 of the plagueH4046 for Peor'sH6465 sakeH1697.
