| 18. Formal Translation For they are adversaries to you in their deceptions, with which they deceived you regarding the matter of Peor and the matter of Kozbi, the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister, who was struck down on the day of the plague concerning the matter of Peor. |
| 18. Dynamic Translation They are your enemies through their schemes—the same ones who misled you into the Peor incident and who led you astray through Kozbi, the daughter of the Midianite leader, their sister, who was killed during the plague that followed the Peor affair. |
