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.
“Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.”
