28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor

and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;

29 they aroused the Lord’s anger by their wicked deeds,

and a plague broke out among them.

30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened,

and the plague was checked.

31 This was credited to him as righteousness

for endless generations to come.

28 Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor,

and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;

29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,

and a plague broke out among them.

30 Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,

and the plague was stayed.

31 And that was counted to him as righteousness

from generation to generation forever.

28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,

And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions:

And the plague brake in upon them.

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment:

And so the plague was stayed.

31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness

Unto all generations for evermore.

28 Then our ancestors joined in the worship of Baal at Peor;

they even ate sacrifices offered to the dead!

29 They angered the Lord with all these things,

so a plague broke out among them.

30 But Phinehas had the courage to intervene,

and the plague was stopped.

31 So he has been regarded as a righteous man

ever since that time.

28 They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor,

And ate sacrifices made to the dead.

29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,

And the plague broke out among them.

30 Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,

And the plague was stopped.

31 And that was accounted to him for righteousness

To all generations forevermore.

28 They joined in worshiping Baal at Peor

and ate meat that had been sacrificed to lifeless statues.

29 They made the Lord angry by what they did,

so many people became sick with a terrible disease.

30 But Phinehas prayed to the Lord,

and the disease stopped.

31 Phinehas did what was right,

and it will be remembered from now on.

28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,

And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings;

And the plague brake in upon them.

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment;

And so the plague was stayed.

31 And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness,

Unto all generations for evermore.

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.

28 They joined in worshiping the god Baal while they were at Peor,

and they ate what was sacrificed to the dead.

29 They infuriated God by what they did,

and a plague broke out among them.

30 Then Phinehas stood between God and the people,

and the plague was stopped.

31 Because of this, Phinehas was considered righteous forever,

throughout every generation.

28 Then they attached themselves to the Baal of Peor,

and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;

29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,

and a plague broke out among them.

30 Then Phinehas stood up and interceded,

and the plague was stopped.

31 And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness

from generation to generation forever.

28 They also attached themselves to Baal of Peor,

and they ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

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.

28 They joined in worshiping the Baal that was worshiped at Peor.

They ate food that had been offered to gods that aren’t even alive.

29 Their evil ways made the Lord angry.

So a plague broke out among them.

30 But Phinehas stood up and took action.

Then the plague stopped.

31 What Phinehas did made him right with the Lord.

It will be remembered for all time to come.

28 They joined themselves also to Baal-peor,

And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,

And the plague broke out among them.

30 Then Phinehas stood up and interposed,

And so the plague was stayed.

31 And it was reckoned to him for righteousness,

To all generations forever.
