24. And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,
25. But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
26. And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
27. And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.
28. And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;
29. And they provoked him to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.
30. Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed;
31. And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.
