Numbers 25:16-18

New Living Translation

¹⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, ¹⁷ “Attack the Midianites and destroy them, ¹⁸ because they assaulted you with deceit and tricked you into worshiping Baal of Peor, and because of Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, who was killed at the time of the plague because of what happened at Peor.”
