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.
26
May the Lord grant you peace in your heart, to judge his people justly, so that the good things they have might not vanish and so that their glory might extend to generations to come.
