2 The people committeth fornicacion with the daughters of Moáb. 9 Phinehás killeth Zimri and Cozbi. 11 God maketh his couenant with Phinehás. 17 God comman∣deth to kil the Midianites.

1 NOw whiles Israél abode in Shittim, the people began to commit whoredome with thea 1.1 daughters of Moáb:

2 Which called the people vnto the sacrifice of their gods, and the people ate, & bowed downe to their gods.

3 And Israélb 1.2 coupled him self vnto Baál Peór wherefore the wrath of the Lorde was kin∣dled against Israél:

4 And the Lorde said vnto Mosés, * Take all the heades of the people, and hang them vp* 1.3 “ 1.4 “ 1.5 before the Lordc 1.6 against the sunne, that the indignacion of the Lords wrath may be turned from Israél.

5 Then Mosés said vnto the Iudges of Israéll, Euerie one slay hisd 1.7 ment that were ioyned vnto Báal Peór.

6 ¶ And beholde, one of the children of Israél came and broght vnto his brethren a Midia∣nitish woman in the sight of Mosés, and in the sight of all the Congregacion of the chil dren of Israél,e 1.8 who wept before the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregacion.

7 * And when Phinehás the sonne of Eleazár* 1.9 the sonne of Aarón the Priest sawe it, he rose* 1.10 vp from the middes of the Congregacion, and toke a“ 1.11 speare in his hand,

8 And followed the man of Israél into the tent and thrust them bothe through: (to wit,) the man of Israél, and the woman,“ 1.12 through her belly: so the plague ceased from the children of Israél.

9 * And there dyed in that plague, foure and* 1.13 twentie thousand.

10 Then the Lord spake vnto Mosés, saying,* 1.14

11 * Phinehás the sonne of Eleazár, the sonne of Aarón the Priest, hathe turned mine anger away from the children of Israél, while hef 1.15 was zelous for my sake among them: there∣fore I haue not consumed the children of Israél in my ielousie.

12 Wherefore saye (to him,) Beholde, * I giue* 1.16 vnto him my couenant of peace,* 1.17

13 And he shal haue it, and his sede after him, (euen) the couenant of the Priests office for euer, because he was zelous for his God, and hathe made ang 1.18 atonement for the children of Israél.

14 And the name of the Israelite (thus) slayne, which was killed with the Midianitish wo∣man, (was) Zimri the sonne of Salú, prince” 1.19 of the familie of the Simeonites.

15 And the name of the Midianitish woman, that was slaine, (was) Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who (was) head ouer the people of his fathers house in Midián.

16 ¶ Againe the Lord spake vnto Mosés, say∣ing,

17 * Vexe the Midianites, and smite them:* 1.20

18 For they trouble you with theirh 1.21 wiles, where with thei haue beguiled you a concer ning Peôr, & as cōcerning their sister Cozbi the daughter of a prince of Midián, which was slaine in the day of the plague because* 1.22 of Peór.* 1.23
