29. Thus they provoked to anger by their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
30. Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and so the plague was stopped,
31. and it was reckoned to him as righteousness throughout all generations.
32. They also angered God at the waters of Meribah, and it went badly for Moses on account of them,
33. because they rebelled against his Spirit, and he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips.
34. They did not exterminate the peoples, as Yahweh had commanded them,
35. but they mingled with the nations and learned their works,
36. and served their idols, which became a snare to them.
37. They even sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons,
38. and they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and so the land was defiled with the blood.
39. And they became unclean by their works, and were unfaithful in their deeds.
