Book 04 : NUMBERS - Chapter 025
025:001
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods:
and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods
025:002
And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the
LORD was kindled against Israel
025:003
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
025:004
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one
his men that were joined unto Baalpeor
025:005
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
025:006
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
025:007
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
025:008
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four
thousand
025:009
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying
025:010
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
025:011
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace
025:012
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
025:013
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
025:014
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
025:015
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying
025:016
Vex the Midianites, and smite them
025:017
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
