Neverthelater thou shalt be a
burning to Kain, until Assur take thee prisoner. And he took his
parable and said: Alas, who shall live when God doeth this? The
ships shall come out of the coast of Cittim and subdue Assur and
subdue Eber, and he himself shall perish at the last. And Balam
rose up and went and dwelt in his place: and Balac also went his
way.
Chapter .xxv.
And Israel dwelt in Sittim, and the people began to commit
whoredom with the daughters of Moab, which called the people unto
the sacrifice of their gods. And the people ate and worshipped
their gods, and Israel coupled himself unto Baal Peor. Then the
LORD was angry with Israel, and said unto Moses: take all the
heads of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD against the
son, that the wrath of the LORD may turn away from Israel. And
Moses said unto the judges of Israel: go and slay those men that
joined them selves unto Baal Peor. And behold, one of the children
of Israel came and brought unto his brethren, a Madianitish wife
even in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the multitude
of the children of Israel, as they were weeping in the door of the
tabernacle of witness. And when Phineas the son of Eleazer the son
of Aaron the priest saw it, he rose up out of the company and took
a weapon in his hand, and went after the man of Israel into the
whorehouse, and thrust them thorow: both the man of Israel and
also the woman even thorow the belly of her.
