Numbers 25:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² So tell Phinehas that I am making my peace agreement with him. ¹³ He and all his descendants will have an agreement. They will always be priests. This is because he had great concern for the honor of his God. He removed the sins of the Israelites so they would belong to God.”

¹⁴ The Israelite man who was killed with the Midianite woman was named Zimri son of Salu. He was the leader of a family in the tribe of Simeon.
