Sirach 45:23

Listen to Sirach 45:23

Phinehas

23 Phinehas, Eleazar's son, comes third in glory, since he was on fire with the fear of the Lord, and since he stood firm when the people turned away, in the goodness and readiness of his spirit; thus he secured reconciliation for Israel.

Sirach 45:23 In-Context

21 They also will eat the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave to him and to his descendants.
22 But he has no inheritance in the land of the people, and he has no portion among the people; for the Lord is your portion and inheritance.
23 Phinehas, Eleazar's son, comes third in glory, since he was on fire with the fear of the Lord, and since he stood firm when the people turned away, in the goodness and readiness of his spirit; thus he secured reconciliation for Israel.
24 Therefore, a covenant of peace was established with Phinehas, that he should preside over the holy places and over his people, so that he and his descendants might have the splendor of the priesthood forever.
25 The Lord also made a covenant with David, Jesse's son, from the tribe of Judah; the king's inheritance that passes from son to son only; Aaron's inheritance is also for his descendants.
