Phinehas Rewarded with Priesthood

Numbers 25:11-16

`Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back My fury from the sons of Israel, by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.

`Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to him My covenant of peace,

and it hath been to him and to his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for the sons of Israel.'

And the name of the man of Israel who is smitten, who hath been smitten with the Midianitess, is Zimri son of Salu, prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite;

and the name of the woman who is smitten, the Midianitess, is Cozbi daughter of Zur, head of a people--of the house of a father in Midian is he.
