ASV_Strong : Numbers 25
1. And Israel[H3478] abode[H3427] in Shittim[H7851]; and the people[H5971] began[H2490] to play the harlot[H2181] with the daughters[H1323] of Moab[H4124]:
2. for they called[H7121] the people[H5971] unto the sacrifices[H2077] of their gods[H430]; and the people[H5971] did eat[H398], and bowed down[H7812] to their gods[H430].
3. And Israel[H3478] joined[H6775] himself unto Baal-peor[H1187]: and the anger[H639] of Jehovah[H3068] was kindled[H2734] against Israel[H3478].
4. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Take[H3947] all the chiefs[H7218] of the people[H5971], and hang them up[H3363] unto Jehovah[H3068] before[H5048] the sun[H8121], that the fierce[H2740] anger[H639] of Jehovah[H3068] may turn away[H7725] from Israel[H3478].
5. And Moses[H4872] said[H559] unto the judges[H8199] of Israel[H3478], Slay[H2026] ye every[H376] one[H376] his men[H582] that have joined[H6775] themselves unto Baal-peor[H1187].
6. And[H376], behold, one of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] came[H935] and brought[H7126] unto his brethren[H251] a Midianitish woman[H4084] in the sight[H5869] of Moses[H4872], and in the sight[H5869] of all the congregation[H5712] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], while they were weeping[H1058] at the door[H6607] of the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150].
7. And when Phinehas[H6372], the son[H1121] of Eleazar[H499], the son[H1121] of Aaron[H175] the priest[H3548], saw[H7200] it[H6965], he rose up from the midst[H8432] of the congregation[H5712], and took[H3947] a spear[H7420] in his hand[H3027];
8. and he went[H935] after[H310] the man[H376] of Israel[H3478] into the pavilion[H6898], and thrust[H1856] both[H8147] of them through[H376], the man of Israel[H3478], and the woman[H802] through[H413] her body[H6897]. So the plague[H4046] was stayed[H6113] from the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
9. And those that died[H4191] by the plague[H4046] were twenty[H6242] and four[H702] thousand[H505].
10. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
11. Phinehas[H6372], the son[H1121] of Eleazar[H499], the son[H1121] of Aaron[H175] the priest[H3548], hath turned[H7725] my wrath[H2534] away[H7725] from the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], in that he was jealous[H7065] with my jealousy[H7068] among[H8432] them[H3615], so that I consumed not the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] in my jealousy[H7068].
12. Wherefore say[H559], Behold[H5414], I give unto him my covenant[H1285] of peace[H7965]:
13. and it shall be unto him[H2233], and to his seed after[H310] him[H1285], the covenant of an everlasting[H5769] priesthood[H3550]; because[H834] he was jealous[H7065] for his God[H430], and made atonement[H3722] for the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
14. Now the name[H8034] of the man of Israel[H376] that was slain[H5221], who was slain[H5221] with the Midianitish woman[H4084], was Zimri[H2174], the son[H1121] of Salu[H5543], a prince[H5387] of a fathers[H1]' house[H1004] among the Simeonites[H8099].
15. And the name[H8034] of the Midianitish[H4084] woman[H802] that was slain[H5221] was Cozbi[H3579], the daughter[H1323] of Zur[H6698]; he was head[H7218] of the people[H523] of a fathers[H1]' house[H1004] in Midian[H4080].
16. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
17. Vex[H6887] the Midianites[H4084], and smite them[H5221];
18. for they vex[H6887] you with their wiles[H5231], wherewith they have beguiled[H5230] you in the matter[H1697] of Peor[H6465], and in the matter[H1697] of Cozbi[H3579], the daughter[H1323] of the prince[H5387] of Midian[H4080], their sister[H269], who was slain[H5221] on the day[H3117] of the plague[H4046] in the matter[H1697] of Peor[H6465].
