22. But he has no inheritancein the land of the people,and he has no portion among the people;for the Lord is your portionand inheritance.
23. Phinehas, Eleazar’s son,comes third in glory,since he was on firewith the fear of the Lord,and since he stood firmwhen the people turned away,in the goodness and readinessof his spirit;thus he secured reconciliation for Israel.
24. Therefore, a covenant of peacewas established with Phinehas,that he should presideover the holy placesand over his people,so that he and his descendantsmight have the splendorof the priesthood forever.
25. The Lord also made a covenantwith David,Jesse’s son, from the tribe of Judah;the king’s inheritancethat passes from son to son only;Aaron’s inheritanceis also for his descendants.
26. May the Lord grant you peacein your heart,to judge his people justly,so that the good things they havemight not vanishand so that their glory might extendto generations to come.
