of
Israel,
in
that
he was jealous
with
my jealousy
among them, so that I didn't
consume the children
of
Israel
in my jealousy
.

Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned My wrath away from the Israelites;
for
he was zealous
for
My sake
among them, so that I did
not
consume the Israelites
in My zeal
.
Therefore
say
, Behold
, I give
to
him my covenant of peace :
Declare
, therefore
, that
I am
granting
him My covenant of peace .
and
it shall
be to
him ,
and to
his seed
after
him
, the
covenant
of
an
everlasting
priesthood;
because he was jealous
for his God ,
and made atonement for the children
of
Israel
.
It will
be a
covenant
of
permanent
priesthood
for
him and his descendants
, because he was zealous
for his God and made atonement for the Israelites
. ”

for they vex
you with
their
wiles,
with

and in
the
matter
of
Cozbi, the daughter of the prince
of

when
they seduced
you in the matter of Peor and their
sister
Cozbi, the daughter of the Midianite
leader
, the
woman
who was killed
on the day the plague came
because
