Numbers 25:17-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ “The Midianites are your enemies. You must kill them. ¹⁸ They have already made you their enemies. They tricked you at Peor. And they tricked you with the woman named Cozbi. She was the daughter of a Midianite leader, but she was killed when the sickness came to the Israelites. That sickness was caused because the people were tricked into worshiping the false god Baal of Peor.”
