4 Mosebog 25
Dette er Biblen på dansk
25 Israeliterne slog sig derpå ned i Sjitim. Men Folket begyndte at bedrive Hor med de moabitiske Kvinder; 2 og da de indbød Folket til deres Guders Slagtofre, spiste Folket deraf og tilbad deres Guder. 3 Og Israel holdt til med Bål Peor; derover blussede Herrens Vrede op mod Israel, 4 og Herren sagde til Moses: "Kald alle Folkets Overhoveder sammen og hæng dem op for Herren under åben Himmel, for at Herrens Vrede må vige fra Israel!" 5 Og Moses sagde til Israeliternes Dommere: "Enhver af eder skal slå dem af sine Mænd ihjel, der har holdt til med Ba'al Peor!"
6 Og se, en af Israeliterne kom og førte en midjanitisk Kvinde hen til sine Landsmænd lige for Øjnene af Moses og hele Israeliternes Menighed, medens de stod og græd ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet. 7 Da nu Pinehas, Præsten Arons Søn Eleazars Søn, så det, trådte han frem af Menighedens Midte, greb et Spyd, 8 fulgte den israelitiske Mand ind i Sengekammeret og gennemborede dem begge, både den israelitiske Mand og Kvinden, hende gennem Underlivet. Da standsede Plagen blandt Israeliterne. 9 Men Tallet på dem, Plagen havde kostet Livet, løb op til 24000.
10 Da talede Herren således til Moses: 11 Pinehas, Præsten Arons Søn Eleazars Søn, har vendt min Vrede fra Israeliterne, idet han var nidkær iblandt dem med min Nidkærhed, så at jeg ikke tilintetgjorde Israeliterne i min Nidkærhed. 12 Derfor skal du sige: Se, jeg giver ham min Fredspagt! 13 Et evigt Præstedømmes Pagt skal blive hans og efter ham hans Efterkommeres Lod, til Løn for at han var nidkær for sin Gud og skaffede Israeliterne Soning."
14 Den dræbte Israelit, han, der dræbtes sammenmed den midjanitiske kvinde, hed Zimri, Salus Søn, og var Øverste for et Fædrenehus blandt Simeoniterne; 15 og den dræbte midjanitiske Kvinde hed Hozbi og var en Datter af Zur, der var Stammehøvding for et Fædrenehus blandt Midjaniterne,
16 Herren talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde: 17 "Fald over Midjaniterne og slå dem; 18 thi de faldt over eder med de Rænker, de spandt imod eder i den Sag med Peor og med Hozbi, den midjanitiske Høvdings Datter, deres Landsmandinde, der dræbtes, den Dag Plagen brød løs for Peors Skyld."

Israel Sacrifices to Baal
25 And Israel remained at (A)Shittim, and the people began (B)to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab. 2 Indeed (C)they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So (D)Israel joined themselves to [a]Baal of Peor, and the anger of Yahweh burned against Israel. 4 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all who are the heads of the people and execute them [b]in broad daylight before Yahweh, (E)so that the burning anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.” 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you (F)kill his men who have joined themselves to [c]Baal of Peor.”
6 Then behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought near to his brothers a (G)Midianite woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, (H)while they were weeping at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 7 (I)And Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, so he arose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand, 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the [d]tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the [e]body. (J)Then the plague on the sons of Israel was checked. 9 (K)So those who died by the plague were 24,000.
The Jealousy of Phinehas
10 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “(L)Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned away My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel (M)in My jealousy. 12 Therefore say, ‘(N)Behold, I give him My (O)covenant of peace; 13 and it shall be for him and his seed after him, a covenant of a (P)perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and (Q)made atonement for the sons of Israel.’”
14 Now the name of the [f]slain man of Israel who was [g]slain 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 struck down, was (R)Cozbi the daughter of (S)Zur, [h]who was head of the people of a father’s household in Midian.
16 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “(T)Be hostile to the Midianites and strike them, 18 for they have been hostile to you with their deceptive tricks, with which they have deceived you in the affair of Peor and in the affair of Cozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister who was slain on the day of the plague because of Peor.”
