Numbers 25:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

11 Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned my anger from the Israelites by his being as jealous among them as I am; that is why I did not put an end to the Israelites in my jealousy.[a] 12 (A)Announce, therefore, that I hereby give him my covenant of peace,[b] 13 which shall be for him and for his descendants after him the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous on behalf of his God and thus made expiation for the Israelites.
