Malachi 2:4 reaffirms God's covenant with Levi, which includes the covenant of peace given to Phinehas in Numbers 25:12.

Malachi 2:5 directly echoes the 'covenant of life and peace' promised to Phinehas, highlighting the same divine reward.

Nehemiah 13:29 condemns defiling the priestly covenant, contrasting with Phinehas' faithful covenant of peace.
