   Day 64, 5 March 2026   
      
   1) Numbers 25, Numbers 26   
      
   NUMBERS 25   
      
   Moab Seduces Israel   
      
   1 (Jos 2:1; Nu 33:49) While Israel dwelt in Shittim, the people began to   
   commit harlotry with the women of Moab.   
   2 (1Co 10:20; Ex 20:5) They called the people to the sacrifices   
   of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.   
   3 (Jos 22:17; Hos 9:10) Israel joined himself to the Baal of Peor,   
   and the anger of the Lord was inflamed against Israel.   
   4 (Dt 13:17; 4:3) The Lord said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people   
   and hang them before the Lord in the sun, that the fierce   
   anger of the Lord turn from Israel."   
   5 (Ex 18:21) Moses said to the judges of Israel,   
   "Kill each of the men who have aligned themselves with the Baal of Peor."   
   6 (Joel 2:17; Nu 22:4) Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought   
   to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight   
   of all the assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping   
   before the door of the tent of meeting.   
   7 (Ex 6:25) When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,   
   saw it, he rose up from among the assembly and took a spear in his hand,   
   8 (Nu 16:46-48) and he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust   
   both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly.   
   So the plague was stopped from the children of Israel.   
   9 (1Co 10:8; Nu 16:49-50) Those that died in the plague were 24000.   
   10 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,   
   11 (Dt 32:16; 32:21) "Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron   
   the priest, has turned My wrath away from the children of Israel,   
   because he was zealous for My sake among them, so I did not exterminate   
   the children of Israel in My zeal.   
   12 (Mal 2:4-5) Therefore say, 'I hereby grant him My covenant of peace.   
   13 (Ex 40:15; 1Ch 6:4-15) And it will be for him and his seed after him,   
   even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous   
   for his God and made an atonement for the children of Israel.'"   
   14 Now the name of the slain Israelite who was slain with the Midianite   
   woman was Zimri the son of Salu,   
   a leader of a chief house among the Simeonites.   
   15 (Nu 31:8; Jos 13:21) The name of the Midianite woman that was slain   
   was Kozbi the daughter of Zur.   
   He was chief over a people and of a father's house in Midian.   
   16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,   
   17 "Be hostile to the Midianites, and defeat them,   
   18 (Rev 2:14) because they have been hostile to you with their wiles,   
   with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor   
   and in the matter of Kozbi the daughter of a leader of Midian,   
   their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague because of Peor."   
      
   Numbers 25   
   [1] And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom   
   with the daughters of Moab.   
   [2] And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the   
   people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.   
   [3] And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was   
   kindled against Israel.   
   [4] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang   
   them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD   
   may be turned away from Israel.   
   [5] And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that   
   were joined unto Baal-peor.   
   [6] And, 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, who were weeping before the door   
   of the tabernacle of the congregation.   
   [7] And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw   
   it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;   
   [8] And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, 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.   
   [9] And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.   
   [10] And the LORD spake 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, while he was zealous for my sake   
   among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.   
   [12] Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:   
   [13] And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an   
   everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an   
   atonement for the children of Israel.   
   [14] Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with   
   the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house   
   among the Simeonites.   
   [15] And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the   
   daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.   
   [16] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   
   [17] Vex the Midianites, and smite them:   
   [18] For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in   
   the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of   
   Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's   
   sake.   
      
   NUMBERS 26   
      
   The Second Census   
      
   1 (Nu 25:9) After the plague, the Lord spoke to Moses   
   and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,   
   2 (Ex 38:25-26; Nu 1:2-3) "Take the count of all the assembly   
   of the children of Israel from twenty years old and older,   
   throughout their fathers' houses, all that are able to go to war in Israel."   
   3 (Nu 22:1; 33:48) Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them   
   in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,   
   4 (Nu 1:1) "Take the count of the people from twenty years old and older,"   
   as the Lord commanded Moses.   
   The children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt, were these:   
   5 (1Ch 5:3; Ge 46:8-9) Reuben, the oldest son of Israel. The children   
   of Reuben:   
   of Hanok, from whom comes the family of the Hanokites;   
   of Pallu, the family of the Palluites;   
   6 of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites;   
   of Karmi, the family of the Karmites.   
   7 These are the families of the Reubenites:   
   those who were counted were 43730.   
   8 The son of Pallu was Eliab.   
   9 (Nu 1:16) The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram.   
   This is that Dathan and Abiram, called out from the assembly, who   
   argued against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah   
   when they argued against the Lord.   
   10 (Nu 16:38; 16:31-35; 2Pe 2:6) And the earth opened its mouth   
   and swallowed them with Korah when that company died,   
   when the fire devoured 2050, and they became a sign.   
   11 (Ex 6:24) But the children of Korah did not die.   
   12 (1Ch 4:24; Ge 46:10) The sons of Simeon by their families were:   
   of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites;   
   of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites;   
   of Jakin, the family of the Jakinites;
