Numbers:25-26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Israel abode in Shittim ,
and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab .
*
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods :
and the people did eat ,
and bowed down to their gods .
*
And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor :
and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Take all the heads of the people ,
and hang them up before the LORD against the sun ,
that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel .
*
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel ,
Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor .
*
And ,
behold ,
one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses ,
and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel ,
who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And when Phinehas ,
the son of Eleazar ,
the son of Aaron the priest ,
saw it ,
he rose up from among the congregation ,
and took a javelin in his hand ;
*
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent ,
and thrust both of them through ,
the man of Israel ,
and the woman through her belly .
So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel .
*
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Phinehas ,
the son of Eleazar ,
the son of Aaron the priest ,
hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel ,
while he was zealous for my sake among them ,
that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy .
*
Wherefore say ,
Behold ,
I give unto him my covenant of peace :
*
And he shall have it ,
and his seed after him ,
even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood ;
because he was zealous for his God ,
and made an atonement for the children of Israel .
*
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain ,
even that was slain with the Midianitish woman ,
was Zimri ,
the son of Salu ,
a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites .
*
And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi ,
the daughter of Zur ;
he was head over a people ,
and of a chief house in Midian .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Vex the Midianites ,
and smite them :
*
For they vex you with their wiles ,
wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor ,
and in the matter of Cozbi ,
the daughter of a prince of Midian ,
their sister ,
which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor '
s sake .
*
And it came to pass after the plague ,
that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest ,
saying ,
*
Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel ,
from twenty years old and upward ,
throughout their fathers '
house ,
all that are able to go to war in Israel .
*
And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho ,
saying ,
*
Take the sum of the people ,
from twenty years old and upward ;
as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel ,
which went forth out of the land of Egypt .
