Numbers 25

1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab:RV1885 — Numbers 25:1

2 for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.RV1885 — Numbers 25:2

3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.RV1885 — Numbers 25:3

4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the Lord before the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.RV1885 — Numbers 25:4

6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.RV1885 — Numbers 25:6

7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;RV1885 — Numbers 25:7

8 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.RV1885 — Numbers 25:8

9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.RV1885 — Numbers 25:9

10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,RV1885 — Numbers 25:10

11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.RV1885 — Numbers 25:11

12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:RV1885 — Numbers 25:12

13 and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.RV1885 — Numbers 25:13

16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,RV1885 — Numbers 25:16

17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:RV1885 — Numbers 25:17

18 for they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.RV1885 — Numbers 25:18
