Numbers 25 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Yashar-Al (Israel) stayed in Shatayam (Shittim); and the im (nation / people) chalal (began) to zanah (play) the prostitute with the banawath (daughters) of Mawaab (Moab):

2 For they qaraa (called) the im (nation / people) to the zabachay (sacrifices) of their Alahayam (); and the im (nation / people) akal (eat), and shachah (bowed) down to their Alahayam ().

3 Yashar-Al (Israel) tzamad (joined) himself to Bailapaiwar (Baal) Paiwar (Peor): and the ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) of Yahawah () was charah (hot with anger) against Yashar-Al (Israel).

4 Yahawah () amar (spoke) to Mashah (Moses), “laqach (take / seize) all the raashay (chiefs) of the im (nation / people), and yaqai (hang) them up to Yahawah () before the shamash (sun), that the charawan (fierce) ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) of Yahawah () may shawab (turn back / repent) away from Yashar-Al (Israel).”

5 Mashah (Moses) amar (said) to the shapatay (judges) of Yashar-Al (Israel), “ayash (man / husband) ayash (man / husband) harag (kill) his ayash (man / husband) who have tzamad (joined) themselves to Bailapaiwar (Baal Peor).”

6 Behold, ayash (man / husband) of the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel) bawaa (bring) and qarab (come close) to his ach (brother/kinsman) a Madayanay (Midianite) woman in the iyan (eye) of Mashah (Moses), and in the iyan (eye) of all the idah (congregation) of the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel), while they were bakah (weeping) at the pathach (door) of the ahal (tent) of Meeting.

7 When Payanachas (Phinehas), the ban (son) of Alaizar (Eleazar), the ban (son) of Aharawan (Aaron) the kahan (priest), raah (see / saw) it, he qawam (rise up) up from the thawak (midst) of the idah (congregation), and laqach (take / seize) a ramach (spear) in his yad (hand);

8 And he bawaa (bring) achar (other) the ayash (man / husband) of Yashar-Al (Israel) into the pavilion, and thrust shanayam (two) of them through, the ayash (man / husband) of Yashar-Al (Israel), and the ayashah (woman / wife) al (toward) her body. So the magapah (plague) was itzar (stayed) from the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel).

9 Those who mawath (death) by the magapah (plague) were isharayam (twenty) - arabai (four) alap (thousand).

10 Yahawah () dabar (word / matter) to Mashah (Moses), amar (spoke),

11 “Payanachas (Phinehas), the ban (son) of Alaizar (Eleazar), the ban (son) of Aharawan (Aaron) the kahan (priest), has shawab (turn) my chamah (wrath) shawab (turn) from the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel), in that he was qanaa (jealous) with my qanaah (jealousy) thawak (midst) them, so that I didn't kalah (complete / finish) the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel) in my qanaah (jealousy).

12 Therefore amar (said), ‘Behold, I nathan (give) to him my barayath (covenant) of shalawam (peace / safety):

13 And it shall be to him, and to his zarai (seed) achar (other) him, the barayath (covenant) of an iwalam (forever) kahanah (priesthood); ashar (who/that) he was qanaa (jealous) for his Alahayam (), and made kapar (atonement) for the banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel).’”

14 Now the sham (name) of the ayash (man / husband) of Yashar-Al (Israel) that was nakah (slain), who was nakah (slain) with the Madayanay (Midianite) woman, was Zamaray (Zimri), the ban (son) of Salaw (Salu), a nashayaa (prince) of a ab (father)’ bayath (house) among the Shamainay (Simeonites).

15 The sham (name) of the Madayanay (Midianite) ayashah (woman / wife) who was nakah (slain) was Kazabay (Cozbi), the banath (daughter) of Tzawar (Zur); he was raash (head) of the amawath (people) of a ab (father)’ bayath (house) in Madayan (Midian).

16 Yahawah () dabar (word / matter) to Mashah (Moses), amar (spoke),

17 “Harass the Madayanay (Midianites), and nakah (strike) them;

18 For they harassed you with their nakal (wiles), with which they have deceived you in the dabar (word / matter) of Paiwar (Peor), and in the dabar (word / matter) of Kazabay (Cozbi), the banath (daughter) of the nashayaa (prince) of Madayan (Midian), their achawath (sister), who was nakah (slain) on the yawam (day) of the magapah (plague) in the dabar (word / matter) of Paiwar (Peor).”
