Sumamba ang Israel kay Baal-peor
25 Samantalang nakahimpil sa Sitim ang Israel, ang mga kalalakihan nila'y nakipagtalik sa mga babaing Moabita na naroroon. 2 Inanyayahan sila ng mga ito sa paghahandog nila sa mga diyus-diyosan. Ang mga Israelita'y nakikain sa mga atang na iyon at sumamba rin sa mga diyus-diyosan doon. 3 Sumali sa pagsamba kay Baal-peor ang mga Israelita kaya nagalit sa kanila si Yahweh. 4 Sinabi niya kay Moises, “Tipunin mo ang mga pinuno ng Israel at patayin mo sila sa harap ng madla para mapawi ang galit ko sa Israel.” 5 Iniutos ni Moises sa mga hukom ng Israel, “Patayin ninyo ang lahat ng kasamahan ninyong sumamba kay Baal-peor.”
6 Samantalang si Moises at ang buong bayan ay nananangis sa harap ng Toldang Tipanan, dumating ang isang Israelita. May kasama itong Midianita, at hayagang ipinasok sa kanyang tolda. 7 Nang makita ito ni Finehas na anak ni Eleazar at apo ni Aaron, umuwi siya at kumuha ng sibat. 8 Sinundan niya sa tolda ang Israelitang may kasamang Midianita at tinuhog silang dalawa ng sibat. Dahil dito, tumigil ang salot na sumasalanta sa Israel. 9 Gayunman, dalawampu't apat na libo na ang namatay sa salot na iyon.
10 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 11 “Dahil sa ginawa ni Finehas, pinahalagahan niya ang aking karangalan. Kaya, hindi ko nilipol ang mga Israelita dahil sa aking galit. 12 Sabihin mo sa kanyang ako'y gumagawa ng isang kasunduan sa kanya; ipinapangako kong hindi ko siya pababayaan kailanman. 13 Mananatili ang walang katapusang pagkapari sa kanya at sa kanyang angkan sapagkat ipinagtanggol niya ang aking karangalan, at ginawa niya ang pagtubos sa kasalanan ng sambayanang Israel.”
14 Ang Israelitang nagsama ng Midianita at napatay ni Finehas ay si Zimri na anak ni Salu at isa sa mga pinuno ng angkan sa lipi ni Simeon. 15 Ang Midianita naman ay si Cozbi na anak ni Zur, na isa sa mga pinuno ng angkan sa Midian.
16 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 17 “Salakayin ninyo ang mga Midianita at puksain sila 18 dahil sa kasamaang ginawa nila sa inyo nang akitin nila kayong sumamba sa mga diyus-diyosan sa Peor, at sa ginawa ng kababayan nilang si Cozbi na pinatay ni Finehas noong sinasalanta kayo ng salot sa Peor.”
Numbers 25
New International Version
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.”
