And it happened after the plague, Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
And those that died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
For they trouble you with their lies, with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi the daughter of a ruler of Midian, their sister, who was stricken in the day of the plague because of Peor.
As Jehovah commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
