04:025:006 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought
           unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses,
           and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of
           Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of
           the congregation.

04:025:007 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
           priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and
           took a javelin in his hand;

04:025:008 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust
           both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through
           her belly.  So the plague was stayed from the children of
           Israel.

04:025:009 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four
           thousand.

04:025:010 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,

04:025:011 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
           hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while
           he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the
           children of Israel in my jealousy.

04:025:012 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 

04:025:013 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the
           covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous
           for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

04:025:014 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was
           slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu,
           a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.

04:025:015 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was
           Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of
           a chief house in Midian.

04:025:016 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,

04:025:017 Vex the Midianites, and smite them: 

04:025:018 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have
           beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of
           Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which
           was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.

04:026:001 And it came to pass after the plague, that the lord spake unto
           Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

04:026:002 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of
           Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their
           fathers’ house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.

04:026:003 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains
           of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

04:026:004 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward;
           as the lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which
           went forth out of the land of Egypt.
