Numbers 25
American Standard Version
25 And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab: 2 for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3 And Israel [a]joined himself unto [b]Baal-peor: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel. 4 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel. 5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. 7 And 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 [c]pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 13 and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian.
16 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them; 18 for they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.

King James Version
25 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.
4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up 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 belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

Închinarea la idoli
25 Israel locuia în Sitim(A) şi poporul(B) a început să se dea la curvie cu fetele lui Moab. 2 Ele au poftit(C) poporul la jertfele(D) dumnezeilor lor, şi poporul a mâncat şi s-a închinat(E) până la pământ înaintea dumnezeilor lor. 3 Israel s-a alipit de Baal-Peor, şi Domnul S-a(F) aprins de mânie împotriva lui Israel. 4 Domnul a zis lui Moise: „Strânge(G) pe toate căpeteniile poporului şi spânzură pe cei vinovaţi înaintea Domnului în faţa soarelui, pentru ca să se întoarcă de la Israel mânia aprinsă(H) a Domnului.” 5 Moise a zis judecătorilor(I) lui Israel: „Fiecare(J) din voi să ucidă pe aceia dintre ai lui care s-au lipit de Baal-Peor.” 6 Şi iată că un bărbat dintre copiii lui Israel a venit şi a adus la fraţii lui pe o madianită, sub ochii lui Moise şi sub ochii întregii adunări a copiilor lui Israel, pe când plângeau(K) la uşa cortului întâlnirii. 7 La vederea acestui(L) lucru, Fineas, fiul(M) lui Eleazar, fiul preotului Aaron, s-a sculat din mijlocul adunării şi a luat o suliţă în mână. 8 S-a luat după omul acela din Israel până în cortul lui, i-a străpuns prin pântece pe amândoi: atât pe bărbatul acela din Israel, cât şi pe femeia aceea. Şi a încetat astfel urgia(N) care izbucnise printre copiii lui Israel. 9 Douăzeci şi patru de mii au murit(O) loviţi de urgia aceea. 10 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 11 „Fineas(P), fiul lui Eleazar, fiul preotului Aaron, a abătut mânia Mea de la copiii lui Israel prin râvna pe care a avut-o pentru Mine în mijlocul lor, şi n-am nimicit, în mânia(Q) Mea, pe copiii lui Israel. 12 De aceea să spui că închei(R) cu el un legământ de pace. 13 Acesta va fi pentru el şi pentru sămânţa(S) lui după el legământul unei preoţii(T) veşnice, pentru că a fost plin de râvnă(U) pentru Dumnezeul lui şi a făcut ispăşire(V) pentru copiii lui Israel.” 14 Bărbatul acela din Israel care a fost ucis împreună cu madianita se numea Zimri, fiul lui Salu; el era căpetenia unei case părinteşti a simeoniţilor. 15 Femeia care a fost ucisă se numea Cozbi, fata lui Ţur(W), căpetenia seminţiilor ieşite dintr-o casă părintească din Madian.
Omorârea madianiţilor
16 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 17 „Priviţi-i pe(X) madianiţi ca vrăjmaşi şi ucideţi-i, 18 căci şi ei vi s-au arătat vrăjmaşi, amăgindu-vă prin vicleşugurile(Y) lor, în fapta lui Peor şi în fapta Cozbiei, fata unei căpetenii a lui Madian, sora lor, ucisă în ziua urgiei care a avut loc cu prilejul faptei lui Peor.”
