Numbers 25:17

Numbers 25:17

15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of ^aZur; he was head of the people of a father’s house in Midian.

16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

17 ^a“Harass the Midianites, and attack them;

18 for they harassed you with their ^aschemes by which they seduced you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a leader of Midian, their sister, who was killed in the day of the plague because of Peor.”

John Wesley's Notes

Numbers 25:18 >>

The Midianites - And why not the Moabites. It is probable the Midianites were most guilty, as in persuading Balak to send for Balaam, Numbers 22:4, Numbers 22:7. So in the reception of Balaam after Balak had dismissed him, Numbers 31:8, and in farther consultation with him, and in contriving the means for the executing of this wicked plot.
