5. And Moshe said unto the shofetim of Yisroel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-Peor.
6. And, hinei, one of the Bnei Yisroel came and brought unto his brethren a woman from Midyan before the eyes of Moshe, and before the eyes of Kol Adat Bnei Yisroel, who were weeping before the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed.
7. And when Pinchas ben Eleazar ben Aharon HaKohen saw it, he rose up from among HaEdah, and took a romach (spear) in his yad;
8. And he went after the ish Yisroel into the inner tent, and thrust through both of them, the ish Yisroel, and the isha through her belly. So the maggefah (plague) was stopped from the Bnei Yisroel.
9. And those that were the mesim (dead ones) in the maggefah (plague) were twenty and four thousand.
10. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
11. Pinchas ben Eleazar ben Aharon HaKohen, hath turned My wrath away from the Bnei Yisroel, when he had kanous (zealousness) with My kanous among them, that I consumed not the Bnei Yisroel in My kina (jealousy, zeal, vengeance).
12. Therefore say, Hineni, I am making unto him My Brit (Covenant) of Shalom;
