23. The Lord God saw this, and it did not please him, and so they were consumed by the force of his anger.
24. He wrought great portents among them, and he consumed them with a flame of fire.
25. And he added glory to Aaron, and he gave him an inheritance, and he allotted to him the first-fruits of the earth.
26. He prepared for them the finest bread unto fullness. And they shall also eat from the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave to him and to his offspring.
27. And yet he will not have an inheritance among the people of the land, and he has no portion among the people. For the Lord himself is his portion and his inheritance.
28. Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, is third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord.
29. And he stood up against the shamefulness of the people. By the goodness and responsiveness of his soul, he appeased God on behalf of Israel.
