Expanded Bible

¹⁶ The Lord said to Moses, ¹⁷ “·The Midianites are your enemies [Harrass the Midianites], and you should ·kill [^Lstrike] them. ¹⁸ They have already ·made you their enemies [harrassed you], because they tricked you at Peor and because of their sister Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader. She was the woman who was killed when the ·sickness [plague] came because the people sinned at Peor.”
