2 who called the people to the sacrifice of their gods. And the people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel was coupled to Baal of Peor. Therefore, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and hang them up before the LORD, out in the Sun, so that the indignation of the LORD’s wrath may be turned from Israel.”
5 Then Moses said to the Judges of Israel, “Everyone kill his men who were joined to Baal of Peor.”
6 And behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianitish woman to his brothers, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, who wept 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 the midst of the Congregation, and took a spear in his hand
8 and followed the man of Israel into the tent and thrust them both through, the man of Israel and the woman (through her belly). So, the plague ceased from the children of Israel.
9 And there died in that plague twenty-four thousand.
10 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11 “Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the Priest, has turned My anger away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for My sake among them. Therefore, I have not consumed the children of Israel in My jealousy.
12 “Therefore, say, ‘Behold, I give to him My Covenant of Peace.
13 “‘And he shall have it, and his seed after him — the Covenant of the Priest’s office, forever — because he was zealous for his God, and has made an atonement for the children of Israel.’”
14 And the name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianitish woman was Zimri, the son of Salu, prince of the family of the Simeonites.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman who was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, who was head over the people of his father’s house in Midian.
16 Again, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Harass the Midianites and strike them.
18 “For they trouble you with their craftiness, with which they have deceived you concerning Peor, and concerning their sister Cozbi, daughter of a Prince of Midian, who was killed on the day of the plague because of Peor.”

7 O God, when You went forth before Your people, when You went through the wilderness (Selah),
8 the Earth shook, and the heavens dropped at the presence of this God. Sinai was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 You, O God, sent a gracious rain upon Your inheritance; and You refreshed it when it was weary.

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand thousand angels. The LORD is among them, as in the Sanctuary of Sinai.

20 This is our God, the God Who saves; and to the LORD God belongs the escapes from death.
21 Surely God will wound the head of His enemies, and the hairy scalp of him who walks in his sins.
22 The LORD has said, “I will bring My people again from Bashan. I will bring them again from the depths of the sea,
23 “so that your foot may be dipped in blood and the tongue of your dogs in the blood of your enemies; yes, your enemies.”
24 They have seen, O God, Your goings; the goings of my God and my King, Who is in the Sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players of instruments after. In the midst, the maids were playing with timbrels.

2 He shall go up to the Temple, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. For Nebo and for Medeba shall Moab howl. Upon all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shall be shaven.
3 In their streets, they shall be girded with sackcloth. On the tops of their houses, and in their streets, everyone shall howl and come down with weeping.
4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh. Their voice shall be heard to Jahaz. Therefore, the warriors of Moab shall shout. The soul of everyone shall lament in himself.
5 “My heart shall cry for Moab. Its fugitives shall flee to Zoar, as a heifer of three years old. For they shall go up with weeping by the mounting up of Luhith. And by the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
6 “For the waters of Nimrim shall be dried up. Therefore, the grass is withered, the herbs consumed. There was no green herb.
7 “Therefore, what has been left, and their substance, they shall bear to the brook of the willows.
8 “For the cry went all around about the borders of Moab, its howling to Eglaim, and its shrieking to Beer Elim,
9 “Because the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood. For I will bring more upon Dimon, even lions, upon him who escapes from Moab, and to the remnant of the land.”
3 Likewise, let the wives be subject to their husbands, so that even those who do not obey the Word may be won by the behavior of the wives (without word)
2 while they observe your upright conduct, which is with fear.
3 Do not let your adornment be outward, braiding your hair or putting on gold or worldly garments.
4 But let it be the inner man of the heart - an incorruptible meek and quiet spirit - which is a very valuable thing before God.
5 For in the past also, the holy women who trusted in God adorned themselves in this way, and were subject to their husbands,
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him ‘Lord’. You are her daughters, doing good and not easily fearful.
7 Likewise, husbands, dwell with them as men of knowledge, giving honor to the woman - as to the weaker vessel, and as you would to those who are co-heirs of the grace of life - so that your prayers are not interrupted.
8 Finally, all of you be of one mind; compassionate, loving as brothers, merciful, friendly,
9 not rendering evil for evil, nor rebuke for rebuke. On the contrary, bless. Know that you are called to this so that you could be heirs of blessing.
10 For “if anyone longs after life (and to see good days), let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
11 “Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears towards their prayers. And the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 And who is it that will harm you if you follow that which is good?
14 But if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. And “do not fear their terror, nor be troubled.”
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give an answer - with humility and respect - to everyone who asks you the Reason for the hope that is in you;
16 having a good conscience, so that when they falsely accuse you as evildoers, those who slander your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
17 For it is better (if it is the will of God) to suffer for doing good rather than evil.
18 For Christ also has suffered once for sins - the Just for the unjust - so that He might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
19 by Whom He also went and preached to the spirits in prison.
20 They were disobedient in the past, when once more the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the Ark was being prepared (in which few - that is, eight - souls were saved in the water).
21 This is now represented by baptism, which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but an appeal to God, made with a good conscience. This also rescues us by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 Who is at the right hand of God, gone into Heaven, to Whom the angels and powers and might are subject.
