What does it say?
The men of Israel worshipped Baal and gave in to sexual immorality, bringing God’s punishment. Phinehas acted to carry out God’s judgment on Zimri’s blatant sin.
What does it mean?
On the doorstep of the Promised Land, Israelite men succumbed to the temptations of Moabite women and made sacrifices to their gods. The ensuing execution of the leaders and punishment of the people involved were required by God as the price for the severity of the sin. Then with contempt and defiance, Zimri openly brought the sin into Israel’s camp. Phinehas’ zealous act, as an extension of God’s punishment, showed how seriously this priest took the violation of God’s law. His righteous act served as atonement and stopped the plague.
How should I respond?
Though society has its own view of right and wrong, God still takes our sin and commitment to Him very seriously. In order to maintain a vibrant relationship with Christ, believers have to live very different lives from those around them. What ungodly attitudes and behaviors have you adopted? How often are you asking God to help you see sin that may be hindering your relationship with Him? God always disciplines sin in the lives of His children. Consider how seriously God looks at your sin, and act with zeal to eliminate it.

In the book of Numbers, God demonstrates himself as a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke, faithfully leading his often rebellious people through the wilderness. Although the faithless wilderness generation was barred from entering the promised land, God was raising up a generation to lead the people from their wandering into the conquest of the land of Canaan.
