1 And Israel 3478 abode 3427 in Shittim 7851, and the people 5971 began 2490 to commit whoredom 2181 with the daughters 1323 of Moab 4124.
2 And they called 7121 the people 5971 unto the sacrifices 2077 of their gods 430: and the people 5971 did eat 398, and bowed down 7812 to their gods 430.
3 And Israel 3478 joined 6775 himself unto Baalpeor 1187: and the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 against Israel 3478.
4 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872, Take 3947 all the heads 7218 of the people 5971, and hang them up 3363 before 5048 the LORD 3068 against the sun 8121, that the fierce 2740 anger 639 of the LORD 3068 may be turned away 7725 from Israel 3478.
5 And Moses 4872 said 559 unto the judges 8199 of Israel 3478, Slay 2026 ye every 376 one 376 his men 582 that were joined 6775 unto Baalpeor 1187.
6 And, behold, one 376 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935 and brought 7126 unto his brethren 251 a Midianitish woman 4084 in the sight 5869 of Moses 4872, and in the sight 5869 of all the congregation 5712 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, who were weeping 1058 before the door 6607 of the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150.
7 And when Phinehas 6372, the son 1121 of Eleazar 499, the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548, saw 7200 it, he rose up 6965 from among 8432 the congregation 5712, and took 3947 a javelin 7420 in his hand 3027;
8 And he went 935 after 310 the man 376 of Israel 3478 into the tent 6898, and thrust 1856 both 8147 of them through, the man 376 of Israel 3478, and the woman 802 through 413 her belly 6897. So the plague 4046 was stayed 6113 from the children 1121 of Israel 3478.
9 And those that died 4191 in the plague 4046 were twenty 6242 and four 702 thousand 505.
10 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 unto Moses 4872, saying 559,
11 Phinehas 6372, the son 1121 of Eleazar 499, the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548, hath turned 7725 0 my wrath 2534 away 7725 from the children 1121 of Israel 3478, while he was zealous 7065 for my sake 7068 among 8432 them, that I consumed 3615 not the children 1121 of Israel 3478 in my jealousy 7068.
12 Wherefore say 559, Behold, I give 5414 unto him my covenant 1285 of peace 7965:
13 And he shall have it, and his seed 2233 after 310 him, even the covenant 1285 of an everlasting 5769 priesthood 3550; because 834 he was zealous 7065 for his God 430, and made an atonement 3722 for the children 1121 of Israel 3478.
14 Now the name 8034 of the Israelite 376 that was slain 5221, even that was slain 5221 with the Midianitish woman 4084, was Zimri 2174, the son 1121 of Salu 5543, a prince 5387 of a chief 1 house 1004 among the Simeonites 8099.
15 And the name 8034 of the Midianitish 4084 woman 802 that was slain 5221 was Cozbi 3579, the daughter 1323 of Zur 6698; he was head 7218 over a people 523, and of a chief 1 house 1004 in Midian 4080.
16 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 unto Moses 4872, saying 559,
17 Vex 6887 the Midianites 4084, and smite 5221 them:
18 For they vex 6887 you with their wiles 5231, wherewith they have beguiled 5230 you in the matter 1697 of Peor 6465, and in the matter 1697 of Cozbi 3579, the daughter 1323 of a prince 5387 of Midian 4080, their sister 269, which was slain 5221 in the day 3117 of the plague 4046 for Peor's 6465 sake 1697.
