And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
Phin´ehas, the son of Ele-a´zar, 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.
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
