1. While Israel stayed at Shittim, the people were not faithful to the Lord and began to have sex with the daughters of Moab.

|
|
2. They asked the people of Israel to bring gifts to their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.
|
2. And 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. So Israel joined themselves to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with Israel.
|
3. And Israel H3478 joined himself H6775 unto Baal H1187 -peor : and the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against Israel H3478 .
|
|
4. The Lord said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of the people, kill them, and put their bodies in the bright daylight before the Lord. Then the strong anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel."
|
4. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Take H3947 H853 all H3605 the heads H7218 of the people H5971 , and hang them up H3363 H853 before the LORD H3068 against H5048 the sun H8121 , that the fierce H2740 anger H639 of the LORD H3068 may be turned away H7725 from Israel H4480 H3478 .
|
|
5. So Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Each of you kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor."
|
5. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 the judges H8199 of Israel H3478 , Slay H2026 ye every one H376 his men H582 that were joined H6775 unto Baal H1187 -peor.
|
|
6. Then one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family. Moses and all the people of Israel saw this while they were crying at the door of the meeting tent.
|
6. And, behold H2009 , one H376 of the children H4480 H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 and brought H7126 unto H413 his brethren H251 H853 a Midianitish woman H4084 in the sight H5869 of Moses H4872 , and in the sight H5869 of all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , who H1992 were weeping H1058 before the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 .

|
7. When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the religious leader, saw it, he rose up from among the people. He took a spear in his hand
|
7. And when Phinehas H6372 , the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 , the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 , saw H7200 it , he rose up H6965 from among H4480 H8432 the congregation H5712 , and took H3947 a javelin H7420 in his hand H3027 ;
|
|
8. and went after the man of Israel into the tent. Then he cut through the bodies of both the man of Israel and the woman. So the very bad disease that spread on the people of Israel was stopped.
|
8. And he went H935 after H310 the man H376 of Israel H3478 into H413 the tent H6898 , and thrust H1856 H853 both H8147 of them through, H853 the man H376 of Israel H3478 , and the woman H802 through H413 her belly H6897 . So the plague H4046 was stayed H6113 from H4480 H5921 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
9. Those who died because of this bad disease were 24,000.
|
9. And those that died H4191 in the plague H4046 were H1961 twenty H6242 and four H702 thousand H505 .
|
|
10. Then the Lord said to Moses,
|
10. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
11. "Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the religious leader, has turned My anger away from the people of Israel. He was jealous with My jealousy among them, so I did not destroy the people of Israel in My jealousy.
|
11. Phinehas H6372 , the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 , the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 , hath turned my wrath away H7725 H853 H2534 from H4480 H5921 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , while he was zealous H7065 for my sake H854 H7068 among H8432 them , that I consumed H3615 not H3808 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in my jealousy H7068 .
|
|
12. So say to them that I make My agreement of peace with Phinehas.
|
12. Wherefore H3651 say H559 , Behold H2009 , I give H5414 unto him H853 my covenant H1285 of peace H7965 :
|
|
13. It will be an agreement for him and his children after him that they will always be religious leaders, because he was jealous for his God, and did what he was to do to pay for the sin of the people of Israel."
|
13. And he shall have H1961 it , and his seed H2233 after H310 him, even the covenant H1285 of an everlasting H5769 priesthood H3550 ; because H8478 H834 he was zealous H7065 for his God H430 , and made an atonement H3722 for H5921 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
14. The name of the man of Israel who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri the son of Salu. He was a leader of a father's house among the Simeonites.
|
14. Now the name H8034 of the Israelite H376 H3478 that was slain H5221 even that H834 was slain H5221 with H854 the Midianitish woman H4084 , was Zimri H2174 , the son H1121 of Salu H5543 , a prince H5387 of a chief H1 house H1004 among the Simeonites H8099 .
|
|
15. The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of Zur. Zur was the head of the people of a father's house in Midian.
|
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 H1931 was head H7218 over a people H523 , and of a chief H1 house H1004 in Midian H4080 .
|
|
16. The Lord said to Moses,
|
16. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
17. "Be angry at the Midianites and fight against them.
|
17. Vex H6887 H853 the Midianites H4084 , and smite H5221 them:
|
|
18. For they have brought trouble to you with their false ways. They have fooled you and turned you to the wrong way. They have brought you trouble at Peor with Cozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister. She was killed on the day the very bad disease came because of Peor."
|
18. For H3588 they H1992 vex H6887 you with their wiles H5231 , wherewith H834 they have beguiled H5230 you in H5921 the matter H1697 of Peor H6465 , and in H5921 the matter H1697 of Cozbi H3579 , the daughter H1323 of a prince H5387 of Midian H4080 , their sister H269 , which was slain H5221 in the day H3117 of the plague H4046 for Peor's sake H5921 H1697 H6465 .
