ESV

1	While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab.
2	These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3	So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4	And the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them in the sun before the LORD, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.”
5	And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor.”
6	And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting.
7	When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand
8	and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped.
9	Nevertheless, those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10	And the LORD said to Moses,
11	“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in my jealousy.
12	Therefore say, 'Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace,
13	and it shall be to him and to his descendants after him the covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the people of Israel.'“
14	The name of the slain man of Israel, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, chief of a father's house belonging to the Simeonites.
15	And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was the tribal head of a father's house in Midian.
16	And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17	“Harass the Midianites and strike them down,
18	for they have harassed you with their wiles, with which they beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the chief of Midian, their sister, who was killed on the day of the plague on account of Peor.“

NIV

1	While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women,
2	who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate and bowed down before these gods.
3	So Israel joined in worshiping the Baal of Peor. And the LORD's anger burned against them.
4	The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of these people, kill them and expose them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that the LORD's fierce anger may turn away from Israel.”
5	So Moses said to Israel's judges, “Each of you must put to death those of your men who have joined in worshiping the Baal of Peor.”
6	Then an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
7	When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand
8	and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear through both of them-through the Israelite and into the woman's body. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped;
9	but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.
10	The LORD said to Moses,
11	“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous as I am for my honor among them, so that in my zeal I did not put an end to them.
12	Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him.
13	He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites.“
14	The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.
15	And the name of the Midianite woman who was put to death was Cozbi daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.
16	The LORD said to Moses,
17	“Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them,
18	because they treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the affair of Peor and their sister Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of Peor.“

NLT

1	While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove, some of the men defiled themselves by having sexual relations with local Moabite women.
2	These women invited them to attend sacrifices to their gods, so the Israelites feasted with them and worshiped the gods of Moab.
3	In this way, Israel joined in the worship of Baal of Peor, causing the LORD's anger to blaze against his people.
4	The LORD issued the following command to Moses: “Seize all the ringleaders and execute them before the LORD in broad daylight, so his fierce anger will turn away from the people of Israel.”
5	So Moses ordered Israel's judges, “Each of you must put to death the men under your authority who have joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.”
6	Just then one of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman into his tent, right before the eyes of Moses and all the people, as everyone was weeping at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
7	When Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest saw this, he jumped up and left the assembly. He took a spear
8	and rushed after the man into his tent. Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man's body and into the woman's stomach. So the plague against the Israelites was stopped,
9	but not before 24,000 people had died.
10	Then the LORD said to Moses,
11	“Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest has turned my anger away from the Israelites by being as zealous among them as I was. So I stopped destroying all Israel as I had intended to do in my zealous anger.
12	Now tell him that I am making my special covenant of peace with him.
13	In this covenant, I give him and his descendants a permanent right to the priesthood, for in his zeal for me, his God, he purified the people of Israel, making them right with me. “
14	The Israelite man killed with the Midianite woman was named Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a family from the tribe of Simeon.
15	The woman's name was Cozbi; she was the daughter of Zur, the leader of a Midianite clan.
16	Then the LORD said to Moses,
17	“Attack the Midianites and destroy them,
18	because they assaulted you with deceit and tricked you into worshiping Baal of Peor, and because of Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, who was killed at the time of the plague because of what happened at Peor.“

KJV

1	And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2	And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3	And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4	And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5	And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6	And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7	And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8	And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them 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 LORD 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 LORD 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.
