Psalms 106:30

Phinehas

28 They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.

29 So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.

31 It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

32 At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.
