The Zeal of Phinehas
10 And the Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he (A)was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in (B)my jealousy. 12 Therefore say, (C)‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace, 13 and it shall be to him and to (D)his descendants after him the covenant of (E)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 killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, chief of a father's house belonging to the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of (F)Zur, who was the tribal head of a father's house in Midian.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 (G)“Harass the Midianites and strike them down, 18 for they have harassed you with their (H)wiles, with which they beguiled you in the matter of (I)Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the chief of Midian, their sister, who was killed on the day of the plague on account of Peor.”

The people of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were:

Numbers 25:10-26:4
New International Version
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.(A) Since he was as zealous for my honor(B) 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(C) with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood,(D) because he was zealous(E) for the honor(F) of his God and made atonement(G) for the Israelites.”(H)

16 The Lord said to Moses,(M) 17 “Treat the Midianites(N) as enemies(O) and kill them.(P) 18 They treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the Peor incident(Q) 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.”

26 After the plague(R) the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, 2 “Take a census(S) of the whole Israelite community by families—all those twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army(T) of Israel.” 3 So on the plains of Moab(U) by the Jordan across from Jericho,(V) Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said, 4 “Take a census of the men twenty years old or more, as the Lord commanded Moses.”
