25 And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab.

And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.

And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel.

And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor.

And behold, a man of the children of Israel came and brought a Midianitish woman to his brethren, in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the entrance of the tent of meeting.

And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a javelin in his hand,

and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.

10 And Jehovah spoke to 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 Therefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace!

13 And he shall have it, and 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 And the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, the prince of a father's house of the Simeonites.

15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was tribal head of a father's house in Midian.

16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

17 Harass the Midianites, and smite them,

18 for they have harassed 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, who was slain on the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor.

El pueblo peca en Sitim

25 Mientras Israel habitaba en Sitim(A), el pueblo comenzó a prostituirse(B) con las hijas de Moab. Y estas invitaron al pueblo a los sacrificios que hacían a sus dioses(C), y el pueblo comió y se postró ante sus dioses. Así Israel se unió a Baal de Peor[a](D), y se encendió la ira del Señor contra Israel. Y el Señor dijo a Moisés: Toma a todos los jefes del pueblo y ejecútalos delante del Señor a plena luz del día[b], para que se aparte de Israel la ardiente ira del Señor(E). Entonces Moisés dijo a los jueces de Israel: Cada uno de vosotros mate a aquellos de los suyos que se han unido a Baal de Peor[c](F).

Y he aquí que un hombre, uno de los hijos de Israel, vino y presentó una madianita(G) a sus parientes[d], a la vista de Moisés y a la vista de toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, que lloraban a la puerta de la tienda de reunión(H). Y cuando lo vio Finees(I), hijo de Eleazar, hijo del sacerdote Aarón, se levantó de en medio de la congregación, y tomando una lanza en su mano, fue tras el hombre de Israel, entró en la alcoba y los traspasó a los dos, al hombre de Israel y a la mujer por su vientre. Y así cesó la plaga sobre los hijos de Israel(J). Y los que murieron por la plaga fueron veinticuatro mil(K).

10 Entonces habló el Señor a Moisés, diciendo: 11 Finees(L), hijo de Eleazar, hijo del sacerdote Aarón, ha apartado mi furor de los hijos de Israel porque demostró su celo por mí entre ellos, y en mi celo no he destruido a los hijos de Israel(M). 12 Por tanto, di: «He aquí, yo le doy(N) mi pacto de paz(O); 13 y será para él y para su descendencia[e] después de él, un pacto de sacerdocio perpetuo(P), porque tuvo celo por su Dios e hizo expiación por los hijos de Israel(Q)».

14 El nombre del hombre de Israel que fue muerto[f] con la madianita era Zimri, hijo de Salu, jefe de una casa paterna de Simeón. 15 Y el nombre de la mujer madianita que fue muerta[g] era Cozbi(R), hija de Zur(S), el cual era cabeza del pueblo de una casa paterna en Madián.

16 Entonces habló el Señor a Moisés, diciendo: 17 Hostigad a los madianitas y heridlos(T); 18 pues ellos os han sido hostiles con sus engaños, con los que os engañaron en el asunto de Peor, y en el asunto de Cozbi, hija del jefe de Madián, su hermana, que fue muerta[h] el día de la plaga por causa de Peor.

25 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.

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.

And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

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.

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;

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.

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.
