“Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I didn’t consume the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Te dongah thui pah, ka paipi he a taengah rhoepnah la ka paek coeng.
Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace.

It shall be to him, and to his offspring after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”

Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites.

16 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “Median te daengdaeh lamtah amih te ngawn.
“Harass the Midianites, and strike them;
18 Amih loh nangmih te a rhaithinah neh n'daengdaeh. Peor kah ol dongah khaw Midian khoboei canu Kozbi kah ol dongah nangmih te n'rhaithi bal. Peor ol bangla a tanu te lucik hnin ah ngawn,” a ti nah.
for they harassed you with their wiles, wherein they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the incident regarding Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.”
