Numbers 25:11

⁹  And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

¹⁰  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹¹  Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

¹²  Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

¹³  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.
