Numbers 25

1 Israel at Shittim commit whoredom and idolatry. 6 Phinehas killeth Zimri and Cozbi. 10 God therfore giveth him an everlasting priesthood. 16 The Midianites are to be vexed.

 25:1 While Israel 3478 remained 3427 at Shittim 7851, the people 5971a began 2490c to play 2181 the harlot 2181 with the daughters 1323 of Moab 4124.

 25:2 For they invited 7121 the people 5971a to the sacrifices 2077 of their gods 430, and the people 5971a ate 398 and bowed 7812 down 7812 to their gods 430.

 25:3 So Israel 3478 joined 6775 themselves to Baal 1187 of Peor 1187, and the LORD 3068 was angry 639 2734 against Israel 3478.

 25:4 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, “Take 3947 all 3605 the leaders 7218 of the people 5971a and execute 3363 them in broad 5048 daylight 8121 before the LORD 3068, so that the fierce 2740 anger 639 of the LORD 3068 may turn 7725 away 7725 from Israel 3478.”

 25:5 So Moses 4872 said 559 to the judges 8199 of Israel 3478, “Each 376 of you slay 2026 his men 376 who have joined 6775 themselves to Baal 1187 of Peor 1187.”

 25:6 ¶ Then behold 2009, one 376 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 came 935 and brought 7126 to his relatives 251 a Midianite 4084 woman 4084, in the sight 5869 of Moses 4872 and in the sight 5869 of all 3605 the congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, while they were weeping 1058 at the doorway 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.

 25:7 When Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499, the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548, saw 7200 it, he arose 6965 from the midst 8432 of the congregation 5712 and took 3947 a spear 7420 in his hand 3027,

 25:8 and he went 935 after 310 the man 376 of Israel 3478 into the tent 6898 and pierced 1856 both 8147 of them through 1856, the man 376 of Israel 3478 and the woman 802, through 413 the body 6896. So the plague 4046 on the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 was checked 6113.

 25:9 Those who died 4191 by the plague 4046 were 24,000 6242 702 505.

 25:10 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,

 25:11 “Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499, the son 1121 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548, has turned 7725 away 7725 My wrath 2534 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in that he was jealous 7065 with My jealousy 7068 among 8432 them, so that I did not destroy 3615 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in My jealousy 7068.

 25:12 “Therefore 3651 say 559, ‘Behold 2009, I give 5414 him My covenant 1285 of peace 7965;

 25:13 and it shall be for him and his descendants 2233 after 310 him, a covenant 1285 of a perpetual 5769 priesthood 3550, because 834 8478 he was jealous 7065 for his God 430 and made 3722a atonement 3722a for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.’”

 25:14 ¶ Now the name 8034 of the slain 5221 man 376 of Israel 3478 who 834 was slain 5221 with the Midianite 4084 woman 4084, was Zimri 2174a the son 1121 of Salu 5543c, a leader 5387a of a father’s 1 household 1004 among the Simeonites 8099.

 25:15 The name 8034 of the Midianite 4084 woman 802 who was slain 5221 was Cozbi 3579 the daughter 1323 of Zur 6698, who 1931 was head 7218 of the people 523 of a father’s 1 household 1004 in Midian 4080.

 25:16 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,

 25:17 “Be hostile 6887c to the Midianites 4084 and strike 5221 them;

 25:18 for they have been 6887c hostile 6887c to you with their tricks 5231, with which 834 they have deceived 5230 you in the affair 1697 of Peor 6465 and in the affair 1697 of Cozbi 3579, the daughter 1323 of the leader 5387a of Midian 4080, their sister 269 who was slain 5221 on the day 3117 of the plague 4046 because 5921 1697 of Peor 6465.”
