25 And Israel dwelled in the Shittim, and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab. 2 And they called to the people for the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and prostrated themselves to their gods. 3 And Israel was yoked to Baal of Peor, and the nose of Yahweh burned against Israel.

4 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all of the heads of the people and hang them to Yahweh in front of the sun, and let the burning of the nose of Yahweh return from Israel.”

5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Kill, a man, his men, the ones being yoked to Baal of Peor.”

6 And behold, a man from the sons of Israel came and brought near to his brothers the Midianitess, to the eyes of Moses and to the eyes of all of the congregation of the sons of Israel. And they were weeping at the opening of the tent of meeting. 7 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw, and he rose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand. 8 And he went after the man of Israel to the tent, and he pierced the two of them, the man of Israel and the woman, to her stomach. And the plague was restrained from upon the sons of Israel.

9 And the ones dying by the plague were 24,000.

10 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has returned my heat from upon the sons of Israel by him being jealous with my jealousy in their midst, and I did not finish the sons of Israel in my jealousy. 12 Therefore say, ‘Behold me, giving to him my covenant of peace. 13 And it shall be for him and for his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood of eternity, because he was jealous for his God, and he made atonement for the sons of Israel.’ ”

14 And the name of the man of Israel, the one being struck, who was struck with the Midianitess, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a house of a father for the Simeonite. 15 And the name of the woman, the one being struck, the Midianitess, was Kozbi the daughter of Zur. He was a head of peoples, a house of a father in Midian.

16 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “Oppose the Midianites, and strike them, 18 for they are opposing you by their deceptions with which they deceived you on the matter of Peor and on the matter of Kozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister, the one being struck on the day of the plague on the matter of Peor.”
