12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
12 Therefore say, 'Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace,
12 So tell him that I am making a Covenant-of-Peace with him.
12 Therefore say, 'Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace;
12 Now tell him that I am making my special covenant of peace with him.
(Read Numbers 25:6-15)
