| | Phinehas |
 | | Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, grandson of Aaron, was a young man probably in his late twenties when the people of Israel were seduced by Balak into idolatry on the east side of the Jordan. |
 | | And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation, and took a spear in his hand; And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. |
 | | And, after the Messiah comes to Israel and the final temple is built, it is Levitical priests descended from Zadok who alone serve at the altar, (Ezekiel 40-48), the rest of the Levites being assigned to lesser tasks because of their history of compromise with God's standards of holiness. |
