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.
32. They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, So that it went hard with Moses on their account;
33. Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.
34. They did not destroy the peoples, As the Lord commanded them,
35. But they mingled with the nations And learned their practices,
36. And served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
