Chap. XXV.
By carnal fornication manie are drawen to spiritual. For which twentie
foure thousand are slaine. 10. Phinees his Zele in stabbing to death two
fornicators, is commended by God, and rewarded.
1 And Israel at that time abode in Settim, and the people
notefornicated with the daughters of Moab,
2 who called
them to their sacrifices. And they did eate and adore their
goddes.
3 And Israel was professed to Beelphegor, and our
Lord being angtie,
4 said to Moyses: Take al the princes of
the people, and hang note them vp against the sunne on gibbettes:
that my furie may be auerted from Israel.
5 And
Moyses said to the Iudges of Israel: Kil euerie man his neighbours,
that are professed to Beelphegor.
6 And behold one
of the children of Israel entred in before the face of his brethren
to a whore a Madianite in the sight of Moyses, and of
al the multitude of the children of Israel, who wept before
the doores of the tabernacle.
7 Which thing when Phinees
had sene the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the priest,
he arose out of the middes of the multitude, and catching a
dagger,
8 went in after the man of Israel into the brothel
house, and thrust them through both together, to witte, the
man and the woman in the genitalles. And the plague ceased
from the children of Israel,
9 and there were slaine fowre
and twentie thowsand men.
10 And our Lord said to Moyses:
11 Phinees the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the priest
note hath auerted my wrath from the children of Israel: because
he was moued with my zele against them, that my self
-- --
Fornication and Idolatrie.
might not destroy the children of Israel in mine owne zele.
12 Therfore speake to him: Behold I geue him the peace of
my couenant,
13 and there shal be as wel to him as to his
seede the couenant of priesthood for euer, because he hath
bene zelous for his God, and hath expiated the wicked fact
of the children of Israel.
14 And the name of the man of Israel,
that was slaine with the woman of Madian, was Zambri
the sonne of Salu, a prince of the kinred and tribe of Simeon.
15 Moreouer the Madianesse, that was slaine with him, was
called Cozbi the daughter of Sur a most noble prince of the
Madianites.
16 And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:
17 Let
the Madianites finde you their enemies, and strike you them:
18 Because they also haue done like enemies against you, and
haue guilfully deceiued you by the Idol Phogor, and Cozbi
the daughter of the duke of Madian their sister, who was
strooken in the day of the plague for the sacrilege of Phogor.
