⁶ And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, ^(A)who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. ⁷ Now ^(B)when Phinehas ^(C)the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand; ⁸ and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So ^(D)the plague was ^(E)stopped among the children of Israel. ⁹ And ^(F)those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
