What a lovely view is here afforded of Phinehas? How ought it to have endeared him to the congregation? How hath it endeared his name in the church! The psalmist recorded the memorable and holy zeal of this man many ages after, when it said of him, that it was accounted unto him for righteousness unto all generations. Psalms 106:30-31. But above all, how did it procure the testimony and approbation of the LORD. But Reader, do not overlook in this view of Phinehas, him whom Phinehas represented, and whose zeal for his FATHER'S house is said to have consumed him. See Psalms 69:9 with John 2:17.
