NASB | Numbers 25:18 for they have been hostile to you with their tricks, with which they have deceived you in the affair of Peor and in the affair of Cozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister who was slain on the day of the plague because of Peor." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Numbers 25:18 for they harass you with their tricks, the tricks with which they have deceived you in the matter [of the Baal] of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister, who was killed on the day of the plague because [of the Baal] of Peor." |
Bible Question:
In chapter 25 in the book of numbers why was Moses told to kill the Midianites' leaders? What was Cozbi's sin? What is Balak? What is the affair of Peor? I am trying to figure out why were they enemies and killed for it? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, This is about the evil acts of the prophet Balaam, who is the most vile and hated prophet of the Bible. He came under the pretense of being a true prophet, but gave into greed. He worked with Balak to corrupt the Israelites into being idolatrous against God's command. This happened at Peor, which is a location. As a result, God ordered that the Midianites be slain from the leadership down. Cozbi was one of the women leaders involved. Jalek |
