Numbers 25:11 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Numbers 25:11

9 And ^athose who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.

10 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

11 ^a“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in ^bMy zeal.

12 Therefore say, ^a‘Behold, I give to him ^bMy covenant of peace;

13 and it shall be to him and ^ahis descendants after him a covenant of ^ban everlasting priesthood, because he was ^czealous for his God, and ^dmade atonement for the children of Israel.’ ”

14 Now the name of the Israelite who was killed, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father’s house among the Simeonites.

15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of ^aZur; he was head of the people of a father’s house in Midian.

Phinehas . . . hath turned my wrath away—This assurance was a signal mark of honor that the stain of blood, instead of defiling, confirmed him in office and that his posterity should continue as long as the national existence of Israel.
