1 Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began
to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab; 2 for they called the
people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their
gods. 3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor. Jehovah’s anger burned against
Israel. 4 Jehovah said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and
hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may
turn away from Israel.”
5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Everyone
kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor.”
6 Behold, one of the children of Israel came and
brought to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the
sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were
weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 7 When Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the middle of the
congregation, and took a spear in his hand. 8 He went after the man of
Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel,
and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of
Israel. 9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “Phinehas,
the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from
the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so
that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12 Therefore
say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace. 13 It shall be to him,
and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood,
because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of
Israel.’”
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was
slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a
prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites. 15 The name of the
Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur. He was head of
the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
16 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “Harass
the Midianites, and strike them, 18 for they harassed you with their
wiles, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the
matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was
slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
