		Chapter 85:61-63.
Text
LXXXV:61  Thus did the children of Moab to Israel in that place, in the plain of Shittim, and           the anger of Yehuveh was kindled against Israel on account of this matter, and he sent a           pestilence amongst them, and there died of the Israelites twenty-four thousand men. LXXXV:62   Now there was a man of the children of Simeon whose name was Zimri, the son of Salu,           who connected himself with the Midianite Cosbi, the daughter of Zur, king of Midian, in           the sight of all the children of Israel. LXXXV:63   And Phineas the son of Elazer, the son of Aaron the priest, saw this wicked thing           which Zimri had done, and he took a spear and rose up and went after them, and pierced           them both and slew them, and the pestilence ceased from the children of Israel
