And it came to pass after the plague, that the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Ele-a´zar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
As the Lord commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Si´nai.
for they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Pe´or, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Mid´i-an, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Pe´or's sake.
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
