Numbers 25:6-11 And lo! a man of the sons of Israel coming in, who brought near unto his brethren a Midianite woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the assembly of the sons of Israel,––when they, were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And lo! a man of the sons of Israel coming in, who brought near unto his brethren a Midianite woman, before the eyes of Moses, and before the eyes of all the assembly of the sons of Israel,––when they, were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting. ⁷ And Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw, it,––so he rose up out of the midst of the assembly, and took a spear in his hand; ⁸ and went in after the man of Israel, into the pleasure–tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman, in her parts of shame,––so the plague was restrained, from against the sons of Israel. ⁹ Then was it found that they who had died by the plague were four and twenty thousand. ¹⁰ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: ¹¹ Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back my wrath from against the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy, in their midst,––so that I made not an end of the sons of Israel, in my jealousy.
