Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Numbers 25
¹⁵ The woman’s name was Cozbi; she was the daughter of Zur, the leader of a Midianite clan.
¹⁶ Then the LORD said to Moses,
¹⁷ “Attack the Midianites and destroy them,
¹⁸ because they assaulted you with deceit and tricked you into worshiping Baal of Peor, and because of Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, who was killed at the time of the plague because of what happened at Peor.”
Numbers 26
¹ After the plague had ended, the LORD said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,
² “From the whole community of Israel, record the names of all the warriors by their families. List all the men twenty years old or older who are able to go to war.”
³ So there on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest issued these instructions to the leaders of Israel:
⁴ “List all the men of Israel twenty years old and older, just as the LORD commanded Moses.” This is the record of all the descendants of Israel who came out of Egypt.
⁵ These were the clans descended from the sons of Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son: The Hanochite clan, named after their ancestor Hanoch. The Palluite clan, named after their ancestor Pallu.
⁶ The Hezronite clan, named after their ancestor Hezron. The Carmite clan, named after their ancestor Carmi.
⁷ These were the clans of Reuben. Their registered troops numbered 43,730.
