22 But in the land of the people he has no inheritance,
    and he has no portion among the people;
    for the Lord[a] himself is his[b] portion and inheritance.

Phinehas

23 Phin′ehas the son of Elea′zar is the third in glory,
    for he was zealous in the fear of the Lord,
and stood fast, when the people turned away,
    in the ready goodness of his soul,
    and made atonement for Israel.
24 Therefore a covenant of peace was established with him,
    that he should be leader of the sanctuary and of his people,
that he and his descendants should have
    the dignity of the priesthood for ever.
