And the Lord spake unto Moses This was some time after the above affair happened; how long it was is not certain; and a little time before the death of Moses, see ( Numbers 31:1Numbers 31:2 ) :
14
The name of the man of Israel who was killed was Zimri. He was the son of Salu. Zimri was killed along with the woman of Midian. Salu was a family leader in the tribe of Simeon.
15
The name of the woman of Midian who was killed was Cozbi. She was the daughter of Zur. Zur was the chief of a family in Midian.

"Treat the people of Midian just as you would treat enemies. Kill them.

After all, they treated you like enemies. They tricked you into worshiping the god Baal that is worshiped at Peor. They also tricked you because of what Cozbi did. She was the woman who was killed when the plague that was connected with Peor came. Cozbi was the daughter of a leader of Midian."
