CHAP. XXV.

1 Israel at Shittim commit whoredome and Idolatrie. 6 Phinees killeth Zimri and Cozbi. 10 God therefore giueth him an euerlasting Priesthood. 16 The Midianites are to be vexed.

¹And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people begun to commit whoredome with the daughters of Moab.¹

²And they called the people vnto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eate, and bowed downe to their gods.

³And Israel ioyned himselfe vnto Baal-Peor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.

⁴And the Lord said vnto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them vp before the Lord against the Sunne, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel.⁴

⁵And Moses said vnto the Iudges of Israel, Slay ye euery one his men, that were ioyned vnto Baal-Peor.

⁶¶ And behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought vnto 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 doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

⁷And when Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest saw it, hee rose vp from amongst the Congregation, and tooke a iauelin in his hand.⁷

⁸And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them thorow, the man of Israel, and the woman, thorow her belly: So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

⁹And those that died in the plague, were twentie and foure thousand.⁹

¹⁰¶ And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

¹¹Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, (while hee was zealous for my sake among them) that I consumed not the children of Israel in my ielousie.¹¹

¹²Wherefore say, Behold, I giue vnto him my Couenant of peace.¹²

¹³And he shall haue it, and his seed after him, euen the Couenant of an euerlasting Priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

¹⁴Now the name of the Israelite that was slaine, euen that was slaine with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri the sonne of Salu, a Prince of a chiefe house among the Simeonites.¹⁴

¹⁵And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slaine, was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, hee was head ouer a people, and of a chiefe house in Midian.

¹⁶¶ And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

¹⁷Uexe the Midianites, and smite them:¹⁷

¹⁸For they vexe you with their wiles, wherewith they haue beguiled you, in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a Prince of Midian their sister, which was slaine in the day of the plague, for Peors sake.
