And Israel dwelt in Sittim,
and the people began to c&obar;mitte
whoredome with the
daughters of Moab, which
called the people vnto þe; sacryfyce
of theyr goddes.
noteAnd the people dyd eate,
and worshypped theyr goddes, ∧ Israel coupled
him selfe vnto &rhand; Baal Peor. And the
indignacyon of the Lorde was prouoked agaynst
Israel, and the Lorde sayde vnto Moses:
take all the heades of the people, ∧ hange
th&ebar; vp before the Lorde &rhand; agaynst the sonne,
that the wrath of the Lordes countena&ubar;ce
maye be tourned awaye from Israel. And
Moses sayd vnto þe; iudges of Israel note &club; euery
one slaye hys men that were ioyned vnto
Baal Peor.
And beholde, one of the chyldren of Israel
came and broughte vnto his brethren, a Madianitish
wyfe euen in the syghte of Moses,
and in the sight of all þe; multitude of the children
of Israel, that wepte before the dore of
the tabernacle of witnesse. noteAnd when Phinehes
the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron
the preaste sawe it, he rose vp oute of the
myddes of the companie, and toke a weapon
in hys hande, and went after the man of Israel
&rhand; into the tent, and thrust them thorowe:
both the m&abar; of Israel and also the woman,
euen thorowe the belly of her. And the
plage ceased fr&obar; the chyldr&ebar; of Israel. noteAnd
there dyed in the plage .xxiiii. thousande.
C And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saying:
note Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of
Aaron the preaste, hath tourned myne anger
awaye from the chyldren of Israel, whyle
he was gelous for my sake amonge them,
that I had not consumed the chyldren of Israel
in my gelousye. Wherfore saye: beholde,
note I geue vnto him my couenaunt of peace,
and he shall haue it, ∧ his seed after him, euen
the couenaunte of the preastes offyce for euer
because he was gelous for his Goddes sake,
and made an attonement for the chyldren of
Israel.
D The name of þe; Israelite whych was
slayne with the Madianytyshe wyfe was
Zamri the sonne of Salu, a Lorde of an house
and kynred of Symeon. And the name of
the Madianitish wyfe that was slayne, was
Cozbi þe; daughter of Zur, a heed ouer the people
of an house and kynred of Madian.
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying:
note vexe the Madianites, and smyte them, for
they trouble you with theyr wyles, whyche
haue begyled you by disceate in the cause of
Peor, and in the cause of theyr syster Cozbi
the daughter of a Lorde of the Madianites,
which was slayne in the daye of the plage for
Peor sake.
