Numbers:25:7-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
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 .
*
Wherefore say ,
Behold ,
I give unto him my covenant of peace :
*
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 .
