14 The name of the slain Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri the son of Salu, chief of Simeon’s household.
15 The name of the slain Midianite woman was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a tribal leader of a Midianite household.
16 The Lord spoke to Moses:
17 Go after the Midianites and destroy them
18 because they went after you by the deception they devised for you at Peor with Cozbi, the Midianite chief’s daughter and their sister, who was killed on the same day as the plague during the events at Peor.
