Numbers 25:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ “Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has calmed my anger at the people of Israel. He was zealous for my sake among them so that I not consume the people of Israel in my zeal. ¹² Therefore, say, ‘I establish my covenant of peace with him. ¹³ He will have it, and his descendants after him, as a covenant for an everlasting priesthood. He was zealous for his God, and he made atonement for the people of Israel.’ ”
