through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the
children of Israel.
9
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
11
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.
12
Wherefore say, Behold,
I give unto him my covenant of peace:
13
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.
14
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.
15
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.
16
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
17
Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
18
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.
CHAPTER 26
And it came to pass after the plague, that the L
ORD
spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of
Aaron the priest, saying,
2
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.
3
And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near
Jericho,
saying,
4
Take the sum of the people,
from twenty years old and upward; as the L
ORD
commanded
Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt.
5
Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch,
of whom cometh
the family
of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites:
6
Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites:
of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.
7
These
are
the families of the Reubenites: and they that were
numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.
8
And the sons of
Pallu; Eliab.
9
And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This
is that
Dathan and
Abiram,
which were
famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in
the company of Korah, when they strove against the L
ORD
:
10
And the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two
hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.
11
Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.
12
The sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin,
the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites:
13
Of Zerah, the family of the
Zarhites: of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites.
14
These
are
the families of the Simeonites, twenty
and two thousand and two hundred.
