1 And Israel H3478 abode H3427 W-VQY3MS in Shittim H7851 , and the people H5971 began H2490 W-VHY3MS to commit whoredom H2181 with H413 PREP the daughters H1323 CFP of Moab H4124 .
2 And they called H7121 the people H5971 unto the sacrifices H2077 of their gods H430 : and the people H5971 did eat H398 , and bowed down H7812 to their gods H430 .
3 And Israel H3478 joined himself H6775 unto Baal H1187 - peor : and the anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS was kindled H2734 against Israel H3478 .
4 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , Take H3947 VQI2MS all H3605 NMS the heads H7218 CMP of the people H5971 , and hang them up H3363 before the LORD H3068 L-EDS against H5048 the sun H8121 , that the fierce H2740 CMS anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS may be turned away H7725 from Israel H3478 .
5 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the judges H8199 of Israel H3478 , Slay H2026 ye every one H376 his men H582 NMS that were joined H6775 unto Baal H1187 - peor .

7 And when Phinehas H6372 , the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 , the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 , saw H7200 W-VIY3MS it , he rose up H6965 W-VQY3MS from among H8432 the congregation H5712 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS a javelin H7420 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS ;
8 And he went H935 W-VQY3MS after H310 ADV the man H376 NMS of Israel H3478 into H413 PREP the tent H6898 , and thrust H1856 both H8147 ONUM-3MP of them through , the man H376 NMS of Israel H3478 , and the woman H802 D-NFS through H413 PREP her belly H6897 . So the plague H4046 was stayed H6113 from M-PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 LMS .
9 And those that died H4191 in the plague H4046 were H1961 W-VQY3MP twenty H6242 W-MMP and four H702 MMS thousand H505 MMS .
10 And the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
11 Phinehas H6372 , the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 , the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 , hath turned my wrath away H7725 VHQ3MS from M-PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , while he was zealous H7065 for my sake H854 among H8432 them , that I consumed H3615 not H3808 W-NPAR the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in my jealousy H7068 .
12 Wherefore H3651 L-ADV say H559 , Behold H2009 , I give H5414 VQPMS unto him my covenant H1285 B-CFS-1MS of peace H7965 :

14 Now the name H8034 W-CMS of the Israelite H3478 that was slain H5221 even that H834 RPRO was slain H5221 with H854 PREP the Midianitish woman H4084 , was Zimri H2174 , the son H1121 of Salu H5543 , a prince H5387 of a chief H1 NMS house H1004 among the Simeonites H8099 .

16 And the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
17 Vex H6887 the Midianites H4084 , and smite H5221 them :
18 For H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP vex H6887 you with their wiles H5231 , wherewith H834 RPRO they have beguiled H5230 you in H5921 PREP the matter H1697 CMS of Peor H6465 , and in H5921 PREP the matter H1697 CMS of Cozbi H3579 , the daughter H1323 of a prince H5387 of Midian H4080 , their sister H269 , which was slain H5221 in the day H3117 of the plague H4046 for Peor\'s sake H5921 PREP .
