Numbers 25:11 In-Context

9 The ones who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
10 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
11 "Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, turned away my anger from among the {Israelites} when he was jealous with my jealousy in their midst, and I did not destroy the {Israelites} with my jealousy.
12 Therefore say, 'Behold, I [am] giving to him my covenant of peace,
13 and it will be for him and his {offspring} after him a covenant of an eternal priesthood because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the {Israelites}.'"
