1While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove, some of the men defiled themselves by having sexual relations with local Moabite women.1וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בַּשִּׁטִּ֑ים וַיָּ֣חֶל הָעָ֔ם לִזְנ֖וֹת אֶל־ בְּנ֥וֹת מוֹאָֽב׃
2These women invited them to attend sacrifices to their gods, so the Israelites feasted with them and worshiped the gods of Moab.2וַתִּקְרֶ֣אןָ לָעָ֔ם לְזִבְחֵ֖י אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ן וַיֹּ֣אכַל הָעָ֔ם וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֖וּ‪‬ לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽן׃
3In this way, Israel joined in the worship of Baal of Peor, causing the LORD’s anger to blaze against his people.3וַיִּצָּ֥מֶד יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְבַ֣עַל פְּע֑וֹר וַיִּֽחַר־ אַ֥ף יְהוָ֖ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
4The LORD issued the following command to Moses: “Seize all the ringleaders and execute them before the LORD in broad daylight, so his fierce anger will turn away from the people of Israel.”4וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֗ה קַ֚ח אֶת־ כָּל־ רָאשֵׁ֣י הָעָ֔ם וְהוֹקַ֥ע אוֹתָ֛ם לַיהוָ֖ה נֶ֣גֶד הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ וְיָשֹׁ֛ב חֲר֥וֹן אַף־ יְהוָ֖ה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
5So Moses ordered Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death the men under your authority who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”5וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶל־ שֹׁפְטֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל הִרְגוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֲנָשָׁ֔יו הַנִּצְמָדִ֖ים לְבַ֥עַל פְּעֽוֹר׃
6Just then one of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman into his tent, right before the eyes of Moses and all the people, as everyone was weeping at the entrance of the Tabernacle.6וְהִנֵּ֡ה אִישׁ֩ מִבְּנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל בָּ֗א וַיַּקְרֵ֤ב אֶל־ אֶחָיו֙ אֶת־ הַמִּדְיָנִ֔ית לְעֵינֵ֣י מֹשֶׁ֔ה וּלְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־ עֲדַ֣ת בְּנֵי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְהֵ֣מָּה בֹכִ֔ים פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
7When Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest saw this, he jumped up and left the assembly. He took a spear7וַיַּ֗רְא פִּֽינְחָס֙ בֶּן־ אֶלְעָזָ֔ר בֶּֽן־ אַהֲרֹ֖ן הַכֹּהֵ֑ן וַיָּ֙קָם֙ מִתּ֣וֹךְ הָֽעֵדָ֔ה וַיִּקַּ֥ח רֹ֖מַח בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
8and rushed after the man into his tent. Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man’s body and into the woman’s stomach. So the plague against the Israelites was stopped,8וַ֠יָּבֹא אַחַ֨ר אִֽישׁ־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אֶל־ הַקֻּבָּ֗ה וַיִּדְקֹר֙ אֶת־ שְׁנֵיהֶ֔ם אֵ֚ת אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־ הָאִשָּׁ֖ה אֶל־ קֳבָתָ֑הּ וַתֵּֽעָצַר֙ הַמַּגֵּפָ֔ה מֵעַ֖ל בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
9but not before 24,000 people had died.9וַיִּהְי֕וּ הַמֵּתִ֖ים בַּמַּגֵּפָ֑ה אַרְבָּעָ֥ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים אָֽלֶף׃ פ
10Then the LORD said to Moses,10וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
11“Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest has turned my anger away from the Israelites by being as zealous among them as I was. So I stopped destroying all Israel as I had intended to do in my zealous anger.11פִּֽינְחָ֨ס בֶּן־ אֶלְעָזָ֜ר בֶּן־ אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֗ן הֵשִׁ֤יב אֶת־ חֲמָתִי֙ מֵעַ֣ל בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בְּקַנְא֥וֹ אֶת־ קִנְאָתִ֖י בְּתוֹכָ֑ם וְלֹא־ כִלִּ֥יתִי אֶת־ בְּנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּקִנְאָתִֽי׃
12Now tell him that I am making my special covenant of peace with him.12לָכֵ֖ן אֱמֹ֑ר הִנְנִ֨י נֹתֵ֥ן ל֛וֹ אֶת־ בְּרִיתִ֖י שָׁלֽוֹם׃
13In this covenant, I give him and his descendants a permanent right to the priesthood, for in his zeal for me, his God, he purified the people of Israel, making them right with me. ”13וְהָ֤יְתָה לּוֹ֙ וּלְזַרְע֣וֹ אַחֲרָ֔יו בְּרִ֖ית כְּהֻנַּ֣ת עוֹלָ֑ם תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֤ר קִנֵּא֙ לֵֽאלֹהָ֔יו וַיְכַפֵּ֖ר עַל־ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
14The Israelite man killed with the Midianite woman was named Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.14וְשֵׁם֩ אִ֨ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל הַמֻּכֶּ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר הֻכָּה֙ אֶת־ הַמִּדְיָנִ֔ית זִמְרִ֖י בֶּן־ סָל֑וּא נְשִׂ֥יא בֵֽית־ אָ֖ב לַשִּׁמְעֹנִֽי׃
15The woman’s name was Cozbi; she was the daughter of Zur, the leader of a Midianite clan.15וְשֵׁ֨ם הָֽאִשָּׁ֧ה הַמֻּכָּ֛ה הַמִּדְיָנִ֖ית כָּזְבִּ֣י בַת־ צ֑וּר רֹ֣אשׁ אֻמּ֥וֹת בֵּֽית־ אָ֛ב בְּמִדְיָ֖ן הֽוּא׃ פ
16Then the LORD said to Moses,16וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
17“Attack the Midianites and destroy them,17צָר֖וֹר אֶת־ הַמִּדְיָנִ֑ים וְהִכִּיתֶ֖ם אוֹתָֽם׃
18because they assaulted you with deceit and tricked you into worshiping Baal of Peor, and because of Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, who was killed at the time of the plague because of what happened at Peor.”18כִּ֣י צֹרְרִ֥ים הֵם֙ לָכֶ֔ם בְּנִכְלֵיהֶ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־ נִכְּל֥וּ לָכֶ֖ם עַל־ דְּבַר־ פְּע֑וֹר וְעַל־ דְּבַ֞ר כָּזְבִּ֨י בַת־ נְשִׂ֤יא מִדְיָן֙ אֲחֹתָ֔ם הַמֻּכָּ֥ה בְיוֹם־ הַמַּגֵּפָ֖ה עַל־ דְּבַר־ פְּעֽוֹר׃ פ
