Psalm 106:28-31

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁸ They joined themselves also to the [idol] Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices [offered] to the lifeless [gods].

²⁹ Thus they provoked the Lord to anger with their practices, and a plague broke out among them.

³⁰ Then stood up Phinehas [the priest] and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed.^(A)

³¹ And that was credited to him for righteousness (right doing and right standing with God) to all generations forever.
