| [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 indignation of the Lord's wrath may be turned from Israel. |
[4]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto Moses: 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 in face of the sun, that the fierce anger of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 may turn away from Israel.' |

| [11]Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned mine anger away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them: therefore I have not consumed the children of Israel in my jealousy. |
[11]'Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned My wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was very jealous for My sake among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy. |
| [12]Wherefore say to him, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace, |

| [13]And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of the priest's office forever, because he was zealous for his God, and hath made an atonement for the children of Israel. |

| [16]Again the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, |
[16]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 spoke unto Moses, saying: |
| [17]Vex the Midianites, and smite them: |
[17]'Harass the Midianites, and smite them; |
| [18]For they trouble you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you as concerning Peor, and as concerning their sister Cozbi the daughter of a prince of Midian, which was slain in the day of the plague because of Peor. |
[18]For they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.' |
