Numbers - 25:13 Meaning

“And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

25:6-15 Phinehas, in the courage of zeal and faith, executed vengeance on Zimri and Cozbi. This act can never be an example for private revenge, or religious persecution, or for irregular public vengeance.

“They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.”
