Scripture focus
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.
Numbers 25:11 — KJV
Turned my wrath away. Compare Ps. 106:23; Jer. 18:20.
Zealous for my sake. Literally, “he was jealous of my jealousy.” His zeal culminated in action, to restore honor to God’s name and people. In his zeal for God’s name he was a fitting type of Christ (Ps. 69:9; John 2:17).
That I consumed not. That is, by the plague then sweeping through the ranks (see 1 Kings 18:19; 19:10; 2 Kings 10:16).
