Discovery BoxNumbers 25:18 
Context25:18 because they bring trouble to you by their treachery with which they have deceived 1 you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, 2 their sister, who was killed on the day of the plague that happened as a result of Peor.”
Numbers 36:3
Context36:3 Now if they should be married to one of the men 3 from another Israelite tribe, their inheritance would be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry. 4 As a result, it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
1 tn This is the same word as that translated “treachery.”
2 sn Cozbi’s father, Zur, was one of five Midianite kings who eventually succumbed to Israel (Num 31:8). When the text gives the name and family of a woman, it is asserting that she is important, at least for social reasons, among her people.
3 tn “Men” is understood; it says “to one from the sons of the tribes of the Israelites for a wife,” or if he has her for a wife.
4 tn Heb “which they will be to them,” meaning, to those who have them, i.e., the marriages.
