3 The Lordwas angry with Israel because they had worshiped the god Baal Peor. 4 So he said to Moses, "Take the Israelite leaders who are responsible for this and have them killed in front of my sacred tent where everyone can see. Maybe then I will stop being angry with the Israelites."
5 Mosestold Israel’s officials,25.5 officials: These were special leaders who were probably responsible for an entire tribe or part of a tribe."Each of you must put to death any of your men who worshiped Baal."

10 The Lordsaid to Moses, 11 "In my anger, I would have wiped out the Israelites if Phinehashad not been faithful to me. 12,13 But instead of punishing them, I forgave them. So because of the loyalty that Phinehas showed, I solemnly promise that he and his descendants will always be my priests."
14 The Israelite man that was killed was Zimrison of Salu, who was one of the leaders of the Simeon tribe. 15 And the Midianitewoman killed with him was Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianiteclan leader named Zur.
