11 “Phinʹe·has+ the son of El·e·aʹzar the son of Aaron the priest has turned back my wrath+ from upon the sons of Israel by his tolerating no rivalry at all toward me in the midst of them,+ so that I have not exterminated the sons of Israel in my insistence on exclusive devotion.+

30 Now when Phinʹe·has+ the priest and the chieftains of the assembly+ and the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him heard the words that the sons of Reuʹben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Ma·nasʹseh spoke, it came to be good in their eyes.

28 Now Phinʹe·has+ the son of El·e·aʹzar, the son of Aaron, was standing before it in those days,+ saying: “Shall I go out yet again to battle against the sons of Benjamin my brother or shall I cease to?”+ To this Jehovah said: “Go up, because tomorrow I shall give him into your hand.”+
