Números 25:7 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 25:7

And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
priest, saw it
Saw the man pass by in this impudent manner, and his whore with him; his spirit was stirred up, he was filled and fired with zeal for the glory of God, and with an holy indignation against the sin and sinner, and with a just concern for the honour of the righteous law of God; and, to prevent others from falling into the same sin, led by the public example of so great a personage, as it appears afterwards this man was:

he rose up from among the congregation;
who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle, or from the midst of the court of judicature, set for trying and judging such persons who were charged with idolatry; for he was not only the son of the high priest and his successor, but a ruler over the Korahites, and had, besides his priestly office, a civil authority, ( 1 Chronicles 9:20 )

and took a javelin in his hand;
a spear or pike; the Jews say F25 he snatched it out of the hand of Moses; and, according to Josephus F26, it was a sword; but the word rather signifies an hand pike; this being ready at hand, he took it up and pursued the criminal.

Números 25:7 In-Context

5 Entonces Mois茅s dijo a los jueces de Israel: Cada uno de vosotros mate a aquellos de los suyos que se han unido a Baal de Peor.
6 Y he aqu铆 que un hombre, uno de los hijos de Israel, vino y present贸 una madianita a sus parientes, a la vista de Mois茅s y a la vista de toda la congregaci贸n de los hijos de Israel, que lloraban a la puerta de la tienda de reuni贸n.
7 Y cuando lo vio Finees, hijo de Eleazar, hijo del sacerdote Aar贸n, se levant贸 de en medio de la congregaci贸n, y tomando una lanza en su mano,
8 fue tras el hombre de Israel, entr贸 en la alcoba y los traspas贸 a los dos, al hombre de Israel y a la mujer por su vientre. Y as铆 ces贸 la plaga sobre los hijos de Israel.
9 Y los que murieron por la plaga fueron veinticuatro mil.
