1While Israel was staying in Acacia Grove, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab, 1וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בַּשִּׁטִּ֑ים וַיָּ֣חֶל הָעָ֔ם לִזְנ֖וֹת אֶל־ בְּנ֥וֹת מוֹאָֽב׃
2who also invited them to the sacrifices for their gods. And the people ate and bowed down to these gods. 2וַתִּקְרֶ֣אןָ לָעָ֔ם לְזִבְחֵ֖י אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ן וַיֹּ֣אכַל הָעָ֔ם וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֖וּ‪‬ לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽן׃
3So Israel joined in worshiping Baal of Peor, and the LORD’s anger burned against [them]. 3וַיִּצָּ֥מֶד יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְבַ֣עַל פְּע֑וֹר וַיִּֽחַר־ אַ֥ף יְהוָ֖ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
4Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that His fierce anger may turn away from Israel.” 4וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֗ה קַ֚ח אֶת־ כָּל־ רָאשֵׁ֣י הָעָ֔ם וְהוֹקַ֥ע אוֹתָ֛ם לַיהוָ֖ה נֶ֣גֶד הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ וְיָשֹׁ֛ב חֲר֥וֹן אַף־ יְהוָ֖ה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
5So Moses told the judges of Israel, “Each of you must kill all of his men who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.” 5וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶל־ שֹׁפְטֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל הִרְגוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֲנָשָׁ֔יו הַנִּצְמָדִ֖ים לְבַ֥עַל פְּעֽוֹר׃
6Just then, an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses [and] the whole congregation of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 6וְהִנֵּ֡ה אִישׁ֩ מִבְּנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל בָּ֗א וַיַּקְרֵ֤ב אֶל־ אֶחָיו֙ אֶת־ הַמִּדְיָנִ֔ית לְעֵינֵ֣י מֹשֶׁ֔ה וּלְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־ עֲדַ֣ת בְּנֵי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְהֵ֣מָּה בֹכִ֔ים פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
7On seeing this, Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, got up from the assembly, took a spear in his hand, 7וַיַּ֗רְא פִּֽינְחָס֙ בֶּן־ אֶלְעָזָ֔ר בֶּֽן־ אַהֲרֹ֖ן הַכֹּהֵ֑ן וַיָּ֙קָם֙ מִתּ֣וֹךְ הָֽעֵדָ֔ה וַיִּקַּ֥ח רֹ֖מַח בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
8followed the Israelite into his tent, and drove [the spear] through both of them— through the Israelite and on through the belly of the woman. So the plague against the Israelites was halted, 8וַ֠יָּבֹא אַחַ֨ר אִֽישׁ־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אֶל־ הַקֻּבָּ֗ה וַיִּדְקֹר֙ אֶת־ שְׁנֵיהֶ֔ם אֵ֚ת אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־ הָאִשָּׁ֖ה אֶל־ קֳבָתָ֑הּ וַתֵּֽעָצַר֙ הַמַּגֵּפָ֔ה מֵעַ֖ל בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
9but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000. 9וַיִּהְי֕וּ הַמֵּתִ֖ים בַּמַּגֵּפָ֑ה אַרְבָּעָ֥ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים אָֽלֶף׃ פ
10Then the LORD said to Moses, 10וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
11“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned My wrath away from the Israelites; for he was zealous [for My sake] among them, so that I did not consume the Israelites in My zeal. 11פִּֽינְחָ֨ס בֶּן־ אֶלְעָזָ֜ר בֶּן־ אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֗ן הֵשִׁ֤יב אֶת־ חֲמָתִי֙ מֵעַ֣ל בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בְּקַנְא֥וֹ אֶת־ קִנְאָתִ֖י בְּתוֹכָ֑ם וְלֹא־ כִלִּ֥יתִי אֶת־ בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּקִנְאָתִֽי׃
12Declare, therefore, that I grant him My covenant of peace. 12לָכֵ֖ן אֱמֹ֑ר הִנְנִ֨י נֹתֵ֥ן ל֛וֹ אֶת־ בְּרִיתִ֖י שָׁלֽוֹם׃
13It will be a covenant of permanent priesthood for him and his descendants, because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.” 13וְהָ֤יְתָה לּוֹ֙ וּלְזַרְע֣וֹ אַחֲרָ֔יו בְּרִ֖ית כְּהֻנַּ֣ת עוֹלָ֑ם תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֤ר קִנֵּא֙ לֵֽאלֹהָ֔יו וַיְכַפֵּ֖ר עַל־ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
14The name of the Israelite who was slain with the Midianie woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family. 14וְשֵׁם֩ אִ֨ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל הַמֻּכֶּ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר הֻכָּה֙ אֶת־ הַמִּדְיָנִ֔ית זִמְרִ֖י בֶּן־ סָל֑וּא נְשִׂ֥יא בֵֽית־ אָ֖ב לַשִּׁמְעֹנִֽי׃
15And the name of the slain Midianite woman was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family. 15וְשֵׁ֨ם הָֽאִשָּׁ֧ה הַמֻּכָּ֛ה הַמִּדְיָנִ֖ית כָּזְבִּ֣י בַת־ צ֑וּר רֹ֣אשׁ אֻמּ֥וֹת בֵּֽית־ אָ֛ב בְּמִדְיָ֖ן הֽוּא׃ פ
16And the LORD said to Moses, 16וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
17“Attack the Midianites and strike them dead. 17צָר֖וֹר אֶת־ הַמִּדְיָנִ֑ים וְהִכִּיתֶ֖ם אוֹתָֽם׃
18For they assailed you deceitfully when they seduced you in the matter of Peor and their sister Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader, [the woman] who was killed on the day the plague came because of Peor.” 18כִּ֣י צֹרְרִ֥ים הֵם֙ לָכֶ֔ם בְּנִכְלֵיהֶ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־ נִכְּל֥וּ לָכֶ֖ם עַל־ דְּבַר־ פְּע֑וֹר וְעַל־ דְּבַ֞ר כָּזְבִּ֨י בַת־ נְשִׂ֤יא מִדְיָן֙ אֲחֹתָ֔ם הַמֻּכָּ֥ה בְיוֹם־ הַמַּגֵּפָ֖ה עַל־ דְּבַר־ פְּעֽוֹר׃ פ
