| 1 While Israel remained at Shittim, the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab. | 1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. | 1 While Israel was staying at Shittim, the men began to have sex with Moabite women | 1 Israel stayed in Shittim; and the people began to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab: | 1 And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to commit fornication with the daughters of Moab. | 2 For they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. | 2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. | 2 who invited the people to the sacrifices offered to their gods. The people ate the meat from the sacrifices and worshiped these gods. | 2 for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. | 2 And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. | 3 So Israel joined themselves to Baal of Peor, and the LORD was angry against Israel. | 3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. | 3 Since the Israelites joined in worshiping the god Baal of Peor, the LORD became angry with Israel. | 3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel. | 3 And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel. | 4 The LORD said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from 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. | 4 The LORD said to Moses, "Take all the leaders of the people, and execute them in broad daylight in the LORD's presence. This will turn the LORD's anger away from Israel." | 4 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel." | 4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up to Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel. | 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Each of you slay his men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor." | 5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor. | 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Each of you must kill the men who have joined in worshiping the god Baal of Peor." | 5 Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Everyone kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal Peor." | 5 And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Slay every one his men that have joined themselves to Baal-Peor. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 Then behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought to his relatives a Midianite woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, while they were weeping at the doorway of the tent of meeting. | 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. | 6 One of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman to his brothers.

So he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand, | 7 When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand; | 7 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose up from among the assembly, and took a javelin in his hand, | 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the body. So the plague on the sons of Israel was checked. | 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. | 8 and went into the tent after the Israelite man. He drove the spear through the man and into the woman's body. Because of this, the plague that the Israelites were experiencing stopped. | 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. | 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent-chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. And the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. | 9 Those who died by the plague were 24,000. | 9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. | 9 However, 24,000 people died from that plague. | 9 Those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand. | 9 And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand. | The Zeal of Phinehas |
