Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the sons of Israel, being zealous for my sake among them, therefore I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy.
12
Because of this say
unto them, Behold, I establish my covenant of peace with him;
13
and he shall have, and his seed after him,
even the covenant of the everlasting priesthood because he was zealous for his God and reconciled the sons of Israel.
14
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain,
even that was slain with the Midianite,
was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a family of the tribe of Simeon.
15
And the name of the Midianite woman that was slain
was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, prince of peoples,
of the house of
the father, in Midian.
16
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
17
Declare war on the Midianites and smite them;
18
for they treated you as enemies with their wiles, with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
