Numbers 25:18

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.”

Ge 3:13; Ge 26:10; Ex 32:21,35; Nu 25:8; Nu 31:15,16; 2Co 11:3; 2Pe 2:14,15,18; Re 2:14

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.
