24. And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
25. And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.
26. And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
27. And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
28. And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
29. And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,
30. And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,
