21And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said:
Though firm be thy dwelling-place,And though thy nest be set in the rock;22Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted;How long? Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

Alas, who shall live after God hath appointed him?24But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim,And they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber,And he also shall come to destruction.
25And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
25And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab. 2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3And Israel joined himself unto the Baal of Peor; and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. 4And the Lord said unto Moses: 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the Lord in face of the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.' 5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel: 'Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto the Baal of Peor.' 6And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. 7And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand. 8And he went after the man of Israel into the chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.

10And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying: 11'Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned My wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was very jealous for My sake among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy. 12Wherefore say: Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace; 13and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.' 14Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites. 15And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.

19And it came to pass after the plague, 261that the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying: 2'Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel.' 3And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying: 4'[Take the sum of the people,] from twenty years old and upward, as the Lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel, that came forth out of the land of Egypt.'
