Numbers - 25:14 Meaning
“Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
25:6-15 Phinehas, in the courage of zeal and faith, executed vengeance on Zimri and Cozbi. This act can never be an example for private revenge, or religious persecution, or for irregular public vengeance.
“Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.”
