Num.25
[1] And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
[2]
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to
their gods.
[3] And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against
Israel.
[4] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before
the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
[5] And
Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor.
[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.
[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;
[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.
[9] And those that
died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
[10] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[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.
[12] Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
[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.
[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.
[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.
[16] And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
[17] Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
[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.
Num.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,
[2] Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty
years old and upward, throughout their father's house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.
[3] And
Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
[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.
[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:
[6] Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.
[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.
[8] And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.
[9] And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan,
and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove against
Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD:
[10] And the
earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what
time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.
[11] Notwithstanding the children
of Korah died not.
[12] The sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of
Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites:
[13] Of Zerah, the family of the
Zarhites: of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites.
[14] These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty and
two thousand and two hundred.
[15] The children of Gad after their families: of Zephon, the family of the
Zephonites: of Haggi, the family of the Haggites: of Shuni, the family of the Shunites:
[16] Of Ozni, the
family of the Oznites: of Eri, the family of the Erites:
[17] Of Arod, the family of the Arodites: of Areli, the
family of the Arelites.
[18] These are the families of the children of Gad according to those that were
numbered of them, forty thousand and five hundred.
[19] The sons of Judah were Er and Onan: and Er
and Onan died in the land of Canaan.
[20] And the sons of Judah after their families were; of Shelah, the
family of the Shelanites: of Pharez, the family of the Pharzites: of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites.
[21]
And the sons of Pharez were; of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites.
