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.

11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites.(A) Since he was as zealous for my honor(B) among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace(C) with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood,(D) because he was zealous(E) for the honor(F) of his God and made atonement(G) for the Israelites.”(H)
