25:1 And Yisrael abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the banot Moav.
25:2 And they called the people unto the zevach (sacrifice)s of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
25:3 And Yisrael joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of YHWH (יהוה) was kindled against Yisrael.
25:4 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto Mosheh:
Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before YHWH (יהוה) against the sun, that the fierce anger of YHWH (יהוה) may be turned away from Yisrael.
25:5 And Mosheh said unto the judges of Yisrael:
Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.
25:6 And, hinei, one of benai Yisrael came and brought unto his brethren a Midyan woman in the sight of Mosheh, and in the sight of all the congregation of benai Yisrael, who [were] weeping [before] .
And when Pinchas (פּינח), Ben El Azar (אלעזר), Ben Aharon Kohen, saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a Yavelin in his hand;
25:8 And he went after the man of Yisrael into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Yisrael, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from benai Yisrael.
25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. (1 corinthian 10)
25:10 (i)
And YHWH (יהוה) spake unto Mosheh, saying:
25:11 Pinchas (פּינח), Ben El Azar (אלעזר), Ben Aharon Kohen, hath turned My wrath away from benai Yisrael, while he was zealous for My sake among them, that I consumed not benai Yisrael in My Jealousy.
25:12 Wherefore say, hinnei, I give unto him My Brit Shalom:
25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] Brit Kehunat Olam; because he was zealous for his Elohim (אלהים), and made kapporah for benai Yisrael.
25:14 Now the name of the Yisraelite that was shachat (slaughtered), [even] that was shachat (slaughtered) with the Midyan woman, [was] Zimri Ben Salu, a Nasi a chief Bayit among the Shimeonites.
25:15 And the name of the Midyan woman that was shachat (slaughtered) [was] Kozbi bat Zur; he [was] head over a people, [and] of a chief Bayit in Midyan.
25:16 And YHWH (יהוה) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
25:17 Vex the Midyanim, 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 Kozbi, bat a Nasi Midyan, their sister, which was shachat (slaughtered) in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
