Numbers 25

1 And Israel sojourned in Sattin, and the people profaned itself by going a-whoring afterthe daughters of Moab. 2 And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols; and the people ate of their sacrifices,and worshipped their idols. 3 And Israel consecrated themselves to Beel-phegor; and the Lord was very angry with Israel. 4 And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the princes of the people, and make them examplesof judgment for the Lord in the face of the sun, and the anger of the Lord shall be turnedaway from Israel. 5 And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Slay you⌃ every one his friend that is consecratedto Beel-phegor. 6 And, behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought his brother to a Madianitishwoman before Moses, and before all the congregation of the children of Israel; and they were weeping atthe door of the tabernacle of witness. 7 And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of themidst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand, 8 and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through,both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the childrenof Israel. 9 And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand. 10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11 Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease fromthe children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the childrenof Israel in my jealousy. 12 Thus do you sayto him, Behold, I give him a covenant of peace: 13 and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, becausehe was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel. 14 Now the name of the struck Israelitish man, who was struck with the Madianitish woman,was Zambri son of Salmon, prince of a house of the tribe of Symeon. 15 And the name of the Madianitish woman who was struck,was Chasbi, daughter of Sur, a prince of the nation of Ommoth: it is a chief house among thepeople of Madiam. 16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 17 Plague the Madianites as enemies, and strike them, 18 for they are enemies to you by the treachery wherein they ensnare you through Phogor,and through Chasbi their sister, daughter of a prince of Madiam, who was struck in the day of the plaguebecause of Phogor.
