Chapter 25

¹While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. ²These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. ³So Israel yoked himself to Baal-peor. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. ⁴And the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them in the sun before the LORD, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.” ⁵And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal-peor.” ⁶And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his brothers, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting. ⁷When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand ⁸and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her stomach. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped. ⁹Nevertheless, those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand. ¹⁰The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ¹¹“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in my jealousy. ¹²Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace, ¹³and it shall be to him and to his descendants after him the covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the people of Israel.’” ¹⁴The name of the man of Israel who was struck down, who was struck down with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, chief of a father's house belonging to the Simeonites. ¹⁵And the name of the Midianite woman who was struck down was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was the tribal head of a father's house in Midian. ¹⁶And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁷“Harass the Midianites and strike them, ¹⁸for they harassed you with their wiles, with which they beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a chief of Midian, their sister, who was struck down on the day of the plague on account of Peor.”
