⁶ Later, Moses and the people were at the sacred tent, crying, when one of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman to meet his family. ⁷ Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron the priest, saw the couple and left the crowd. He found a spear ⁸ and followed the man into his tent, where he ran the spear through the man and into the woman's stomach. The LORD immediately stopped punishing Israel with a deadly disease, ⁹ but twenty-four thousand Israelites had already died. ¹⁰ The LORD said to Moses, ¹¹ "In my anger, I would have wiped out the Israelites if Phinehas had not been faithful to me. ¹² But instead of punishing them, I forgave them. So because of the loyalty that Phinehas showed, I solemnly promise that he and his descendants will always be my priests." ¹³ (SEE 25:12)
