International cruise ship operations resume in Japan after pandemic hiatus
国際クルーズ船、運航再開へ 「にっぽん丸」が横浜港を出発
International cruise ship operations resumed in Japan on Dec. 15. This ended a suspension of almost three years due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Nippon Maru cruise ship departed Yokohama Port for the Indian Ocean. The Nippon Maru is operated by Mitsui OSK Passenger Lines.
In November, the government announced it would allow international cruise ships to resume operations and dock in Japan.
In February 2020, a coronavirus infection was detected on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship. The infection spread and the ship was quarantined. Eventually, 13 of the ship’s 700 crew and passengers died. A suspension on international cruise ships was imposed.
The Nippon Maru operator says there are now many anti-coronavirus measures, including daily temperature checks.
The ship’s voyage includes stops at Mauritius and Madagascar. It returns to Yokohama on Jan. 31 (Kyodo)

***** Moab Seduces Israel *****
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
14 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.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
(wiles [通例 pl.] (特に女性の色香にたよる)巧妙な策略, 手練手管 (⇒trick SYN). ･use one's (feminine) wiles on a person 人に(女の)手管を使う. )
