For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 25 of Numbers. God grants special recognition to Phinehas because of his zeal for the holiness of the people and announces a covenant of peace and priesthood for him and his descendants. He then commands Israel to confront the Midianites because of their role in seducing Israel. The episode connects priestly zeal, covenant preservation, and separation from influences that had led the people into idolatry.

denn sie haben euch Schaden getan mit ihrer List, die sie wider euch geübt haben durch den Peor und durch ihre Schwester Kosbi, die Tochter des Fürsten der Midianiter, die erschlagen ist am Tag der Plage um des Peor willen.
Por cuanto ellos os afligieron a vosotros con sus ardides, con que os han engañado en el negocio de Peor, y en el negocio de Cozbi, hija del príncipe de Madián, su hermana, la cual fue muerta el día de la mortandad por causa de Peor.
porque ellos los hostigan con sus artimañas, las que han tramado contra ustedes en el asunto de Peor y en el asunto de Cozbi, hija de un jefe de Madián, su hermana, que fue muerta el día de la plaga por el asunto de Peor».
car ils se sont montrés vos ennemis, en vous séduisant par leurs ruses, dans l'affaire de Peor, et dans l'affaire de Cozbi, fille d'un chef de Madian, leur soeur, tuée le jour de la plaie qui eut lieu à l'occasion de Peor.
conciossiachè essi abbiano fatta guerra a voi, co’ loro inganni, che v’hanno fatti nel fatto di Peor, e nel fatto di Cozbi, figliuola d’un de’ Capi di Madian, lor sorella, ch’è stata uccisa al giorno della piaga avvenuta per cagione di Peor
Porque eles vos afligiram a vós com os seus enganos com que vos enganaram no caso de Peor, e no caso de Cosbi, filha do príncipe dos midianitas, irmã deles, que foi morta no dia da praga no caso de Peor.
因為他們用詭計苦害你們,在 毗珥 的事上和他們的姊妹, 米甸 領袖的女兒 哥斯比 的事上,欺騙了你們;在瘟疫的日子,這女子因 毗珥 的事件被殺了。」
