Ye shall know. The people will assuredly find by experience that these divine threats are not in vain.

My covenant. The covenant of “an everlasting priesthood” (Num. 25:13) was given to Phinehas, a grandson of Aaron, for his part in eliminating the worship of Baal-peor from the camp of Israel (see Num. 25:3-13).

With Levi. The tribe of Levi was chosen by God for His service because of the faithfulness of its members in a time of crisis (see on Ex. 32:29).

Lord of hosts. See on Jer. 7:3.
