The Sin of Peor
25 While Israel remained at (A)Shittim, the people began (B)to commit infidelity with the daughters of Moab. 2 For (C)they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So (D)Israel [a]became followers of [b]Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with Israel. 4 And the Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and [c]execute them [d]in broad daylight before the Lord, (E)so that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.” 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you (F)kill his men who have [e]become followers of [f]Baal of Peor.”
6 Then behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought to his relatives a (G)Midianite woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, (H)while they were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 7 (I)When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand, 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the inner room of the tent and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman, through the abdomen. (J)So the plague on the sons of Israel was brought to a halt. 9 (K)But those who died from the plague were twenty-four thousand in number.
The Zeal of Phinehas
10 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “(L)Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has averted My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was [g]jealous with My [h]jealousy among them, so that I did not destroy the sons of Israel (M)in My [i]jealousy. 12 Therefore say, ‘(N)Behold, I am giving him My (O)covenant of peace; 13 and it shall be for him and for his [j]descendants after him, a covenant of a (P)permanent priesthood, because he was [k]jealous for his God and (Q)made atonement for the sons of Israel.’”
14 Now the name of the [l]dead man of Israel who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father’s household among the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was (R)Cozbi the daughter of (S)Zur, [m]who was head of the people of a father’s household in Midian.
16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “(T)Be hostile to the Midianites and attack them; 18 for they have been hostile to you with their tricks, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister who was killed on the day of the plague because of Peor.”

Israel acude a Baal Pegor
25 Mientras Israel estuvo viviendo en Sitín, el pueblo empezó a prostituirse con las mujeres de Moab, 2 las cuales invitaban al pueblo a participar en los sacrificios de sus dioses, y el pueblo comía de esos sacrificios y adoraba a esos dioses. 3 Y como el pueblo acudía a Baal Pegor, el furor del Señor se encendió contra Israel, 4 y el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
«Toma a todos los príncipes del pueblo, y ahórcalos delante de mí a pleno sol. Sólo así mi ira se apartará de Israel.»
5 Moisés dijo entonces a los jueces de Israel:
«Mate cada uno de ustedes a los suyos que hayan acudido a Baal Pegor.»
6 Mientras los israelitas lloraban a la entrada del tabernáculo de reunión, un israelita llegó y, a la vista de Moisés y de toda la congregación de los israelitas, presentó una madianita a sus hermanos. 7 Al ver esto Finés hijo de Eleazar, que era hijo del sacerdote Aarón, se levantó de en medio de la congregación y, con una lanza en la mano, 8 se lanzó tras aquel israelita. Al llegar a su tienda, con su lanza atravesó por el vientre a los dos, al israelita y a la mujer. Al instante, cesó la mortandad entre los hijos de Israel, 9 aunque ya habían muerto veinticuatro mil de ellos.
10 Entonces el Señor habló con Moisés, y le dijo:
11 «Llevado por el celo que yo mismo tengo por mí, Finés hijo de Eleazar, hijo del sacerdote Aarón, ha hecho que mi furor se aparte de los hijos de Israel. Por eso no los he consumido. 12 Por lo tanto, dile que yo he establecido ya mi pacto de paz con él. 13 Tanto él como sus descendientes contarán con el pacto del sacerdocio perpetuo, por haber mostrado celo por su Dios y por haber hecho expiación por los hijos de Israel.»
14 El israelita que fue atravesado junto con la madianita se llamaba Zimri hijo de Salu, y era jefe de una familia de la tribu de Simeón. 15 La madianita que murió con él se llamaba Cozbi hija de Sur, quien era príncipe de pueblos y padre de familia en Madián.
16 El Señor habló con Moisés, y le dijo:
17 «Hostilicen a los madianitas, y mátenlos. 18 También ellos los hostilizaron a ustedes con sus ardides; los engañaron en relación con Baal Pegor y con su hermana Cozbi, la hija del príncipe de Madián, que por causa de Baal Pegor fue muerta el día de la mortandad.»

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.”
