And those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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 did not consume the children of Israel in My jealousy.

Therefore say, I now give him My covenant of peace;

And it shall be to him and to his seed after him the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made expiation for the children of Israel.

Now the name of the slain man of Israel, who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father's household among the Simeonites.

And the name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, head of the people of a father's household in Midian.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Harass the Midianites and strike them;

For they have harassed you with their deception with which they have deceived 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.

Now after the plague Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

Take the sum of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' households, all who are able to go forth for military service in Israel.

So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward, as Jehovah commanded Moses. Now the children of Israel, who came forth out of the land of Egypt were:

Reuben, the firstborn of Israel; the sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites;

Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.

These are the families of the Reubenites, and those who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred thirty.

And the sons of Pallu: Eliab.

And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel and Dathan and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram, who were called by the assembly, who contended against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against Jehovah;

And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, when the fire consumed two hundred fifty men; and they became a sign.
