25:6 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, who were weeping
before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in
his hand;
25:8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, 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.
25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
25:10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous
for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my
jealousy.
25:12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of
an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made
an atonement for the children of Israel.
25:14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain
with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a
chief house among the Simeonites.
25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi,
the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in
Midian.
25:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
25:18 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 a
prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague
for Peor's sake.
26:1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto
Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
26:2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel,
from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all
that are able to go to war in Israel.
26:3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of
Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
26:4 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as
the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth
out of the land of Egypt.
26:5 Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch,
of whom cometh the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the
Palluites:
26:6 Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of
the Carmites.
26:7 These are the families of the Reubenites: and they that were
numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and
thirty.
26:8 And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.
