The Orgy at Shittim
25 1-3 While Israel was camped at Shittim (Acacia Grove), the men began to have sex with the Moabite women. 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 midsections. 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.”

Worship of Baal of Peor
25 While Israel dwelt in Shittim the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab. 2 These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel yoked himself to Ba′al of Pe′or. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; 4 and the Lord said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them in the sun before the Lord, that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.” 5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Every one of you slay his men who have yoked themselves to Ba′al of Pe′or.”
6 And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Mid′ianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. 7 When Phin′ehas the son of Elea′zar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation, and took a spear in his hand 8 and went after the man of Israel into the inner room, and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman, through her body. Thus the plague was stayed from the people of Israel. 9 Nevertheless those that died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phin′ehas the son of Elea′zar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in my jealousy. 12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace; 13 and it shall be to him, and to his descendants after him, the covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the people of Israel.’”
14 The name of the slain man of Israel, who was slain with the Mid′ianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, head of a fathers’ house belonging to the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Mid′ianite woman who was slain was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was the head of the people of a fathers’ house in Mid′ian.
16 And the Lord said to Moses, 17 “Harass the Mid′ianites, and smite them; 18 for they have harassed you with their wiles, with which they beguiled you in the matter of Pe′or, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Mid′ian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague on account of Pe′or.”

Sumamba ang mga Israelita kay Baal
25 Habang nagkakampo ang mga Israelita sa Shitim, nakipagtalik ang mga lalaki sa mga babaeng Moabita. 2 Hinikayat sila ng mga babaeng ito sa paghahandog sa mga dios-diosan, at kumain sila ng mga handog na ito at sumamba sa mga dios-diosan ng Peor. 3 Kaya nahikayat ang mga Israelita sa pagsamba kay Baal ng Peor. Kaya nagalit nang matindi ang Panginoon sa kanila.
4 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, “Kunin mo ang lahat ng pinuno ng mga taong ito, at patayin sila sa aking presensya habang nakatingin ang mga tao, para mawala na ang matindi kong galit sa Israel.” 5 Kaya sinabi ni Moises sa mga hukom ng Israel, “Kailangang patayin ninyo ang mga taong sumamba kay Baal ng Peor.”
6 Ngayon, may isang Israelitang nagdala ng isang Midianitang babae sa kanyang pamilya. Nakita ito ni Moises at ng buong kapulungan ng Israel habang nagluluksa sila roon sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan. 7 Pagkakita rito ni Finehas na anak ni Eleazar at apo ng paring si Aaron, umalis siya sa kapulungan at kumuha ng sibat. 8 Sinundan niya ang tao sa loob ng tolda, at sinibat niya ang dalawa. Pagkatapos, huminto ang salot sa Israel, 9 pero 24,000 ang namatay dahil sa salot.
10 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, 11 “Inalis ni Finehas na anak ni Eleazar at apo ng paring si Aaron ang aking galit sa mga Israelita. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang ginawa, ipinakita niya ang kanyang kagustuhan na protektahan ang aking karangalan sa gitna nila. Kaya hindi ko sila nilipol. 12 Kaya sabihin mo sa kanya na gagawa ako ng kasunduan sa kanya na pagpapalain ko siya. 13 At sa kasunduang ito, siya at ang kanyang mga angkan ang magiging mga pari magpakailanman dahil ipinakita niya ang aking galit at tinubos niya ang mga Israelita sa kanilang mga kasalanan.”
14 Ang Israelitang namatay kasama ng babaeng Midianita ay si Zimri na anak ni Salu, na pinuno ng isang pamilya na lahi ni Simeon. 15 At ang Midianitang babae ay si Cozbi na anak ni Zur. Si Zur ay isang pinuno ng isang pamilyang Midianita.
16 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, 17 “Ituring ninyong kaaway ang mga Midianita, at patayin ninyo sila, 18 dahil itinuring din nila kayong kaaway sa pamamagitan ng panlilinlang sa inyo roon sa Peor at dahil din kay Cozbi na anak ng isang pinunong Midianita. Pinatay ang babaeng ito noong dumating ang salot sa Peor.”

Moab Seduces Israel
25 While Israel was staying in Shittim,(A) the men began to indulge in sexual immorality(B) with Moabite(C) women,(D) 2 who invited them to the sacrifices(E) to their gods.(F) The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. 3 So Israel yoked themselves to(G) the Baal of Peor.(H) And the Lord’s anger burned against them.
4 The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders(I) of these people, kill them and expose(J) them in broad daylight before the Lord,(K) so that the Lord’s fierce anger(L) may turn away from Israel.”
5 So Moses said to Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death(M) those of your people who have yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor.”(N)
6 Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite(O) woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping(P) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 7 When Phinehas(Q) son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear(R) in his hand 8 and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman’s stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped;(S) 9 but those who died in the plague(T) numbered 24,000.(U)
10 The Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites.(V) Since he was as zealous for my honor(W) among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace(X) with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood,(Y) because he was zealous(Z) for the honor(AA) of his God and made atonement(AB) for the Israelites.”(AC)
14 The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman(AD) was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.(AE) 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was put to death was Kozbi(AF) daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.(AG)
16 The Lord said to Moses,(AH) 17 “Treat the Midianites(AI) as enemies(AJ) and kill them.(AK) 18 They treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the Peor incident(AL) involving their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of that incident.”
