Num 25:10-  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:  (11)  'Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned My wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was very jealous for My sake among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy.  (12)  Wherefore say: Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace;  (13)  and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.'  (14)  Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the Simeonites.  (15)  And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in Midian.  (16)  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:  (17)  'Harass the Midianites, and smite them;  (18)  for they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.'  (26:1)  (25:19) And it came to pass after the plague, (26:1) that the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying:  (2)  'Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel.'  (3)  And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying:  (4)  'Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward, as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, that came forth out of the land of Egypt.'

MEDITATION: What is the difference between flattery and harassment?
