Numbers 25:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ “Phinehas, son of Eleazar and grandson of the priest Aaron, turned my fury away from the Israelites. Since he stood up for me, I didn’t have to stand up for myself and destroy them. ¹² So tell Phinehas that I’m making a promise of peace to him. ¹³ My promise is that he and his descendants will be priests permanently because he stood up for his God and he made peace with the Lord for the Israelites.”
