Numbers 25:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, ¹⁷ “Treat the Midianites just as you would treat enemies. Kill them. ¹⁸ After all, they treated you like enemies. They tricked you into worshiping the god named Baal that is worshiped at Peor. They also tricked you because of what Kozbi did. She was the woman killed when the plague came that was connected with Peor. Kozbi was the daughter of a Midianite leader.”
