Israel en Peor
25 Los israelitas se establecieron en Acacias[a], y allí los hombres empezaron a corromperse con las mujeres moabitas. 2 Ellas invitaban a los israelitas a acompañarlas en los sacrificios para sus dioses falsos y los israelitas comían de esos sacrificios y adoraban a esos dioses falsos. 3 De esta manera, Israel comenzó a adorar a Baal Peor, lo que hizo que el SEÑOR se enojara con Israel. 4 Entonces el SEÑOR le dijo a Moisés:
—Lleva a todos los jefes del pueblo y mátalos públicamente. Deja que sus cuerpos queden colgados ante el SEÑOR.
5 Moisés les dijo a todos los jueces de Israel:
—Maten a todo el que entre ustedes se haya unido a la adoración a Baal Peor.
6 Justo en ese momento uno de los israelitas vino y trajo una mujer madianita a donde estaba su familia. Hizo esto delante de Moisés y de todos los israelitas, quienes se encontraban llorando a la entrada de la carpa del encuentro. 7 Finés, que era hijo de Eleazar y nieto del sacerdote Aarón, viendo esto, se alejó de la reunión, tomó su lanza 8 y siguió al israelita hasta su carpa. Allí Finés atravesó por el estómago[b] al israelita y a la mujer madianita y así fue como se detuvo la plaga que afligía a los israelitas, 9 aunque la plaga ya había matado a 24 000 de ellos.
10 El SEÑOR le dijo a Moisés:
11 —Finés hijo de Eleazar y nieto del sacerdote Aarón salvó a los israelitas de mi ira al enojarse como yo contra los que pecaron, por lo cual yo no destruiré a los israelitas en mi ira. 12 Así que dile a Finés que yo hago este pacto de amistad con él: 13 Yo le entrego el sacerdocio para siempre a él y a sus descendientes porque se indignó en favor de su Dios e hizo purificación de parte de los israelitas.
14 El nombre del israelita que fue muerto junto con la mujer madianita era Zimri hijo de Salu, y jefe de una familia de la tribu de Simeón. 15 El nombre de la mujer madianita que murió era Cozbí hija de Zur, el jefe de una familia de Madián.
16 El SEÑOR le dijo a Moisés:
17 —Ataquen y maten a los madianitas, 18 porque en Peor ellos los atacaron a ustedes con sus engaños, como en el caso de Cozbí, la hija de un jefe madianita, que fue muerta el día que la plaga vino a Israel por lo que pasó en Peor.

Infidelidad de Israel
25 Mientras los israelitas acampaban en Sitín, comenzaron a entregarse a la inmoralidad sexual con las mujeres moabitas, 2 las cuales los invitaban a participar en los sacrificios a sus dioses. Los israelitas comían de esos sacrificios y se postraban ante esos dioses. 3 Esto los llevó a unirse al culto de Baal Peor. Por tanto, la ira del Señor se encendió contra ellos.
4 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: «Toma a todos los jefes del pueblo y ahórcalos en mi presencia a plena luz del día, para que el furor de mi ira se aparte de Israel».
5 Moisés ordenó a los jueces de Israel: «Maten a los hombres bajo su mando que hayan rendido culto a Baal Peor».
6 Mientras el pueblo lloraba a la entrada de la Tienda de reunión, un israelita trajo a una madianita y, en presencia de Moisés y de toda la comunidad israelita, tuvo el descaro de presentársela a su familia. 7 De esto se dio cuenta el sacerdote Finés, que era hijo de Eleazar y nieto del sacerdote Aarón. Finés abandonó la asamblea y lanza en mano, 8 siguió al hombre, entró en su tienda y atravesó al israelita y a la mujer.[a] De esta forma cesó la plaga que se había desatado contra los israelitas. 9 Con todo, los que murieron a causa de la plaga fueron veinticuatro mil.
10 El Señor dijo a Moisés: 11 «Finés, hijo de Eleazar y nieto del sacerdote Aarón, ha hecho que mi ira se aparte de los israelitas, pues ha actuado con el mismo celo que yo habría tenido por mi honor. Por eso no destruí a los israelitas con el furor de mi celo. 12 Dile, pues, a Finés que yo le concedo mi pacto de paz, 13 por medio del cual él y sus descendientes gozarán de un sacerdocio eterno, ya que defendió celosamente mi honor y presentó ofrendas para el perdón de los israelitas».
14 El hombre 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 se llamaba Cozbí, y era hija de Zur, jefe de una familia de Madián.
16 El Señor dijo a Moisés: 17 «Ataca a los madianitas y mátalos, 18 porque ellos también los atacaron a ustedes con sus artimañas, pues en Baal Peor los sedujeron, como en el caso de Cozbí, la hija del jefe madianita que fue muerta el día de la plaga en Baal Peor».

Israel Sins in Moab
25 While Israel stayed at Shittim, the people were not faithful to the Lord and began to have sex with the daughters of Moab. 2 They asked the people of Israel to bring gifts to their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel joined themselves to Baal of Peor, and the Lord was angry with Israel. 4 The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, kill them, and put their bodies in the bright daylight before the Lord. Then the strong anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.” 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor.”
6 Then one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family. Moses and all the people of Israel saw this while they were crying at the door of the meeting tent. 7 When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the religious leader, saw it, he rose up from among the people. He took a spear in his hand 8 and went after the man of Israel into the tent. Then he cut through the bodies of both the man of Israel and the woman. So the very bad disease that spread on the people of Israel was stopped. 9 Those who died because of this bad disease were 24,000.
10 Then the Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the religious leader, has turned My anger away from the people of Israel. He was jealous with My jealousy among them, so I did not destroy the people of Israel in My jealousy. 12 So say to them that I make My agreement of peace with Phinehas. 13 It will be an agreement for him and his children after him that they will always be religious leaders, because he was jealous for his God, and did what he was to do to pay for the sin of the people of Israel.”
14 The name of the man of Israel who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri the son of Salu. He was a leader of a father’s house among the Simeonites. 15 The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of Zur. Zur was the head of the people of a father’s house in Midian.
16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “Be angry at the Midianites and fight against them. 18 For they have brought trouble to you with their false ways. They have fooled you and turned you to the wrong way. They have brought you trouble at Peor with Cozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister. She was killed on the day the very bad disease came because of Peor.”

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.”

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.”
