And it came to pass after the plague, that YY spake unto Moshe and unto Eleazar the son of Aharon the kohen, saying,
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
As YY Commanded Moshe, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
