Numbers 25 (kjv)

And Israel^H3478 abode^H3427 in Shittim^H7851, and the people^H5971 began^H2490 to commit whoredom^H2181 with the daughters^H1323 of Moab^H4124.²And 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^H430.³And Israel^H3478 joined^H6775 himself unto Baalpeor^H1187: and the anger^H639 of the LORD^H3068 was kindled^H2734 against Israel^H3478.⁴And the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto Moses^H4872, Take^H3947 all the heads^H7218 of the people^H5971, and hang them up^H3363 before^H5048 the LORD^H3068 against the sun^H8121, that the fierce^H2740 anger^H639 of the LORD^H3068 may be turned away^H7725 from Israel^H3478.⁵And Moses^H4872 said^H559 unto the judges^H8199 of Israel^H3478, Slay^H2026 ye every^H376 one^H376 his men^H582 that were joined^H6775 unto Baalpeor^H1187.

⁶And, behold, one^H376 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 came^H935 and brought^H7126 unto his brethren^H251 a Midianitish woman^H4084 in the sight^H5869 of Moses^H4872, and in the sight^H5869 of all the congregation^H5712 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, who were weeping^H1058 before the door^H6607 of the tabernacle^H168 of the congregation^H4150.⁷And when Phinehas^H6372, the son^H1121 of Eleazar^H499, the son^H1121 of Aaron^H175 the priest^H3548, saw^H7200 it, he rose up^H6965 from among^H8432 the congregation^H5712, and took^H3947 a javelin^H7420 in his hand^H3027;⁸And he went^H935 after^H310 the man^H376 of Israel^H3478 into the tent^H6898, and thrust^H1856 both^H8147 of them through, the man^H376 of Israel^H3478, and the woman^H802 through^H413 her belly^H6897. So the plague^H4046 was stayed^H6113 from the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478.⁹And those that died^H4191 in the plague^H4046 were twenty^H6242 and four^H702 thousand^H505.

¹⁰And the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 unto Moses^H4872, saying^H559,¹¹Phinehas^H6372, the son^H1121 of Eleazar^H499, the son^H1121 of Aaron^H175 the priest^H3548, hath turned^H7725 my wrath^H2534 away^H7725 from the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, while he was zealous^H7065 for my sake^H7068 among^H8432 them, that I consumed^H3615 not the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 in my jealousy^H7068.¹²Wherefore say^H559, Behold, I give^H5414 unto him my covenant^H1285 of peace^H7965:¹³And he shall have it, and his seed^H2233 after^H310 him, even the covenant^H1285 of an everlasting^H5769 priesthood^H3550; because^H834 he was zealous^H7065 for his God^H430, and made an atonement^H3722 for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478.¹⁴Now the name^H8034 of the Israelite^H376 that was slain^H5221, even that was slain^H5221 with the Midianitish woman^H4084, was Zimri^H2174, the son^H1121 of Salu^H5543, a prince^H5387 of a chief^H1 house^H1004 among the Simeonites^H8099.¹⁵And the name^H8034 of the Midianitish^H4084 woman^H802 that was slain^H5221 was Cozbi^H3579, the daughter^H1323 of Zur^H6698; he was head^H7218 over a people^H523, and of a chief^H1 house^H1004 in Midian^H4080.

¹⁶And the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 unto Moses^H4872, saying^H559,¹⁷Vex^H6887 the Midianites^H4084, and smite^H5221 them:¹⁸For they vex^H6887 you with their wiles^H5231, wherewith they have beguiled^H5230 you in the matter^H1697 of Peor^H6465, and in the matter^H1697 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^H6465 sake^H1697.
