Numbers 25:7-13
Legacy Standard Bible
7 (A)And Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, so he arose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand, 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the [a]tent and pierced both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman, through the [b]body. (B)Then the plague on the sons of Israel was checked. 9 (C)So those who died by the plague were 24,000.
The Jealousy of Phinehas
10 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “(D)Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned away My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel (E)in My jealousy. 12 Therefore say, ‘(F)Behold, I give him My (G)covenant of peace; 13 and it shall be for him and his seed after him, a covenant of a (H)perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and (I)made atonement for the sons of Israel.’”

9 (A)Who said of his father and his mother,
‘I did not consider them’;
And he did not recognize his brothers,
Nor did he know his own sons,
For (B)they kept Your word,
And they observed Your covenant.
