It started when the women invited the men to their > sex-and-religion worship. They ate together and then worshiped their gods. > Israel ended up joining > in the worship of the Baal of Peor. God was furious, > his anger blazing out against Israel. > > 4 God said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of Israel and kill them by > hanging, leaving them > publicly exposed in order to turn God's anger away from Israel." > > 5 Moses issued orders to the judges of Israel: "Each of you must execute > the men under your > jurisdiction who joined in the worship of Baal Peor." > > 6-9 Just then, while everyone was weeping in penitence at the entrance of > the Tent of Meeting, an > Israelite man, flaunting his behavior in front of Moses > and the whole assembly, paraded a Midianite woman into his family tent. > Phinehas son of Eleazar, the > son of Aaron the priest, saw what he was doing, grabbed > his spear, and followed them into the tent. With one thrust he drove the > spear through the two of > them, the man of Israel and the woman, right through > their private parts. That stopped the plague from continuing among the > People of Israel. But 24,000 > had already died. > > 10-13 God spoke to Moses: "Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the > priest, has stopped my anger > against the People of Israel. Because he was as zealous > for my honor as I myself am, I didn't kill all the People of Israel in my > zeal. So tell him that I > am making a Covenant-of-Peace with him. He and his descendants > are joined in a covenant of eternal priesthood, because he was zealous for > his God and made > atonement for the People of Israel." > > 14-15 The name of the man of Israel who was killed with the Midianite > woman was Zimri son of Salu, > the head of the Simeonite family. And the name of the > Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi daughter of Zur, a tribal chief > of a Midianite family. > > 16-18 God spoke to Moses: "From here on make the Midianites your enemies. > Fight them tooth and > nail. They turned out to be your enemies when they seduced > you in the business of Peor and that woman Cozbi, daughter of a Midianite > leader, the woman who was > killed at the time of the plague in the matter of Peor." > > Numbers 26 > > Census on the Plains of Moab > 1-2 After the plague God said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the > priest, "Number the entire > community of Israel by families-count every person who is > twenty years and older who is able to serve in the army of Israel." > > 3-4 Obeying God's command, Moses and Eleazar the priest addressed them on > the Plains of Moab at > Jordan-Jericho: "Count off from age twenty and older." > > 4-7 The People of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt: > Reuben, Israel's firstborn.
