6Then behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought near to his brothers a aMidianite woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, bwhile they were weeping at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

7aAnd Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, so he arose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand,

8and he went after the man of Israel into the 1tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the 2body. aThen the plague on the sons of Israel was checked.
