Numbers 25:15

Context
25:15 The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi daughter of Zur. He was a leader 1  over the people of a clan of Midian. 2 

1 tn Heb “head.”

2 sn The passage makes it clear that this individual was a leader, one who was supposed to be preventing this thing from happening. The judgment was swift and severe, because the crime was so great, and the danger of it spreading was certain. Paul refers to this horrible incident when he reminds Christians not to do similar things (1 Cor 10:6-8).
