An ApplicationGod blessed Phinehas for standing up for God's principals. We need to stand up for God, too. / Their enemies gave up on a frontal assault and sent in the women. Sometimes we forget how serious God is, to our detriment. I bet Zimri said to himself "there's nothing about this in God's commands," to justify himself. But he should have known better, and was reminded the hard way how horribly self deceiving he was. Malachi will lament for God on a similar theme in MAL 2:17.

Connect the DotsFulfilling NUM 22:7 Moab & Midian joined up here (NUM 25:1, 6). Compare NUM 25:16-17 to EX 3:1. / Multiple capital crimes were committed in one day: breaking the first of Ten Commandments EX 20:2-3, DT 6-11, 17:2-7, and the whole sexual immorality part, repeatedly declared it a capital crime, including but not limited to LEV 20:10, DT 22:21-25 & REV 21:8.
