Numbers 25:10-13

English Standard Version

The Zeal of Phinehas

¹⁰ And the Lord said to Moses, ¹¹ “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he ^(A)was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in ^(B)my jealousy. ¹² Therefore say, ^(C)‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace, ¹³ and it shall be to him and to ^(D)his descendants after him the covenant of ^(E)a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the people of Israel.’”
