Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 28 of 31

"Phinees the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord:"
Sirach 45:28

In context

26He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed.

27But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance.

28Phinees the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord:

29And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel.

30Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever.
