25 but murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them,to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27 to overthrow their seed also among the nations,and to scatter them in the lands.
28 They joined themselves also unto Ba´al–pe´or,and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions:and the plague brake in upon them.
30 Then stood up Phin´ehas, and executed judgment:and so the plague was stayed.
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousnessunto all generations for evermore.
