Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 25

Num 25:1 And Yisra’ĕl dwelt in Shittim, and the people began to whore
with the daughters of Mo’aḇ,
Num 25:2 and they invited the people to the slaughterings of their mighty
ones, and the people ate and bowed down to their mighty ones.
Num 25:3 Thus Yisra’ĕl was joined to Ba‛al Pe‛or, and the displeasure of
יהוה burned against Yisra’ĕl.
Num 25:4 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take all the leaders of the people and
hang them up before יהוה, before the sun, so that the burning displeasure of
יהוה turns away from Yisra’ĕl.”
Num 25:5 And Mosheh said to the judges of Yisra’ĕl, “Each one of you slay
his men who were joined to Ba‛al Pe‛or.”
Num 25:6 And see, one of the children of Yisra’ĕl came and brought to his
brothers a Miḏyanite woman before the eyes of Mosheh and before the eyes
of all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, who were weeping at the
door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num 25:7 And when Pineḥas, son of El‛azar, son of Aharon the priest, saw
it, he rose up from among the congregation and took a spear in his hand,
Num 25:8 and he went after the man of Yisra’ĕl into the tent and thrust both
of them through, the man of Yisra’ĕl, and the woman through her belly. Thus
the plague among the children of Yisra’ĕl came to a stop.
Num 25:9 And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Num 25:10 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 25:11 “Pineḥas, son of El‛azar, son of Aharon the priest, has turned
back My wrath from the children of Yisra’ĕl, because he was ardent with My
ardour in their midst, so that I did not consume the children of Yisra’ĕl in My
ardour.
Num 25:12 “Therefore say, ‘See, I am giving him My covenant of peace,
Num 25:13 and it shall be to him and to his seed after him a covenant of an
everlasting priesthood, because he was ardent for his Elohim, and made
atonement for the children of Yisra’ĕl.’ ”
Num 25:14 And the name of the Yisra’ĕlite who was killed, who was killed
with the Miḏyanite woman, was Zimri, son of Salu, a leader of a father’s
house among the Shim‛onites.
Num 25:15 And the name of the Miḏyanite woman who was killed was
Kozbi the daughter of Tsur. He was head of the people of a father’s house in
Miḏyan.
Num 25:16 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 25:17 “Distress the Miḏyanites! And you shall smite them,
Num 25:18 for they distressed you with their tricks with which they
deceived you in the matter of Pe‛or and in the matter of Kozbi, the daughter
of a leader of Miḏyan, their sister, who was killed in the day of the plague
because of Pe‛or.”
