And they called them to the sacrifices of their idols, and the people ate of their sacrifices, and they worshiped their idols.
And Israel was consecrated to Baal-Peor, and the Lord was angered with wrath against Israel.
εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ λαβὲ πάντας τοὺς ἀρχηγοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ παραδειγμάτισον αὐτοὺς κυρίῳ ἀπέναντι τοῦ ἡλίου καὶ ἀποστραφήσεται ὀργὴ θυμοῦ κυρίου ἀπὸ Ισραηλ
And the Lord said to Moses, Take all the leaders of the people and expose them before the Lord in the sight of the sun, and the wrath of the Lord’s anger shall turn away from Israel.
And Moses said to the tribes of Israel, Kill each one his own man, the one who has been initiated to Baal-Peor.
ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἐλθὼν προσήγαγεν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν Μαδιανῖτιν ἐναντίον Μωυσῆ καὶ ἔναντι πάσης συναγωγῆς υἱῶν Ισραηλ αὐτοὶ δὲ ἔκλαιον παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου
And behold, a man of the sons of Israel came and brought his brother to the Midianite woman before Moses and before the whole assembly of the sons of Israel, and they were weeping at the door of the tent of witness.
ἰδὼν Φινεες υἱὸς Ελεαζαρ υἱοῦ Ααρων τοῦ ἱερέως ἐξανέστη ἐκ μέσου τῆς συναγωγῆς καὶ λαβὼν σειρομάστην ἐν τῇ χειρὶ
And Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it and rose up from the midst of the congregation and, taking a spear in his hand
ὀπίσω τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Ισραηλίτου εἰς τὴν κάμινον καὶ ἀπεκέντησεν ἀμφοτέρους τόν τε ἄνθρωπον τὸν Ισραηλίτην καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα διὰ τῆς μήτρας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπαύσατο ἡ πληγὴ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ισραηλ
he went in after the Israelite man into the chamber and pierced both, both the Israelite man and the woman through her belly, and the plague ceased from the sons of Israel
And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying
υἱὸς Ελεαζαρ υἱοῦ Ααρων τοῦ ἱερέως κατέπαυσεν τὸν θυμόν μου ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαί μου τὸν ζῆλον ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐκ ἐξανήλωσα τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ζήλῳ μου
Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest turned away my wrath from the sons of Israel by his being jealous with my jealousy among them, and I did not consume the sons of Israel in my jealousy
Therefore say, Behold, I am giving to him my covenant of peace
ἔσται αὐτῷ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτὸν διαθήκη ἱερατείας αἰωνία ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐζήλωσεν τῷ θεῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξιλάσατο περὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ
and it shall be to him and to his seed after him a covenant of an eternal priesthood, because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for the sons of Israel
δὲ ὄνομα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Ισραηλίτου τοῦ πεπληγότος ὃς ἐπλήγη μετὰ τῆς Μαδιανίτιδος Ζαμβρι υἱὸς Σαλω ἄρχων οἴκου πατριᾶς τῶν Συμεων
And the name of the Israelite man who was struck, who was struck with the Midianite woman, was Zambri son of Salō, ruler of a house of a clan of the Simeonites.
ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ τῇ Μαδιανίτιδι τῇ πεπληγυίᾳ Χασβι θυγάτηρ Σουρ ἄρχοντος ἔθνους Ομμωθ οἴκου πατριᾶς ἐστιν τῶν Μαδιαν
And the name of the Midianite woman who was struck was Cozbi, daughter of Zur, a ruler of a nation, of the house of a father-family of the Midianites.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, saying,
Be hostile to the Midianites and strike them.
ἐχθραίνουσιν αὐτοὶ ὑμῖν ἐν δολιότητι ὅσα δολιοῦσιν ὑμᾶς διὰ Φογωρ καὶ διὰ Χασβι θυγατέρα ἄρχοντος Μαδιαν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν τὴν πεπληγυῖαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς πληγῆς διὰ Φογωρ
because they are hostile to you with deceit in all the ways in which they deceive you because of Peor and because of Chasbi, daughter of a ruler of Midian, their sister, the one who was struck on the day of the plague because of Peor
