CEB

ESV

1 When the Israelites lived at Shittim, the people made themselves impure by having illicit sex with Moabite women.
1 While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab.
2 The Moabite women invited the people to the sacrifices for their god. So the people ate a meal, and they worshipped their god.
2 These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 Israel became attached to the Baal of Peor, and the LORD was angry at the Israelites.
3 So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.
4 The LORD said to Moses: Take all the leaders of the people and kill them on behalf of the LORD in broad daylight, so that the LORD's anger turns away from Israel.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them in the sun before the Lord, that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel. ”
5 Then Moses said to Israel's officials, "Each of you: kill your men who are attached to the Baal of Peor."
5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor. ”
6 An Israelite man brought a Midianite woman to his brothers in the sight of Moses and the entire Israelite community, who were weeping at the entrance of the meeting tent.
6 And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting.
7 When Phinehas (Eleazar's son and Aaron the priest's grandson) saw this, he arose in the middle of the community, took a spear in his hand,
7 When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand
8 went after the Israelite man into the chamber, and stabbed the two of them, the Israelite man and the woman, through the stomach. Then the plague stopped spreading among the Israelites.
8 and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped.
9 Yet those who died by the plague numbered twenty-four thousand.
9 Nevertheless, those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 The LORD spoke to Moses:
10 And the Lord said to Moses,
11 Phinehas (Eleazar's son and Aaron the priest's grandson) has turned back my rage toward the Israelites. Because he was jealous for me among you, I didn't consume the Israelites due to my jealousy.
11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Therefore, say: I'm now giving him my covenant of well-being.
12 Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace,
13 It will be for him and his descendants a covenant of permanent priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and sought reconciliation for the Israelites.
13 and it shall be to him and to his descendants after him the covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the people of Israel. ’”
14 The name of the slain Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri the son of Salu, chief of Simeon's household.
14 The name of the slain man of Israel, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, chief of a father’s house belonging to the Simeonites.
15 The name of the slain Midianite woman was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a tribal leader of a Midianite household.
15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was the tribal head of a father’s house in Midian.
16 The LORD spoke to Moses:
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Go after the Midianites and destroy them
17 “Harass the Midianites and strike them down,
18 because they went after you by the deception they devised for you at Peor with Cozbi, the Midianite chief's daughter and their sister, who was killed on the same day as the plague during the events at Peor.
18 for they have harassed you with their wiles, with which they beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the chief of Midian, their sister, who was killed on the day of the plague on account of Peor. ”
