Numbers 25:11-13 is the original account: Phinehas' zeal was counted as righteousness, granting him a covenant of peace and perpetual priesthood.

Genesis 15:6 is the classic 'credited as righteousness' — Abraham's faith, while Phinehas' act is similarly credited, showing a pattern of divine reckoning.

Numbers 25:13 specifies the covenant of perpetual priesthood given to Phinehas for his zeal — the same event Psalm 106:31 summarizes as righteousness.

Romans 4:3 uses the same 'counted as righteousness' language for Abraham's faith, mirroring the crediting of Phinehas' act in Psalm 106:31.

Ezra 7:5 traces Ezra's lineage back to Phinehas, the same priest whose zeal was credited as righteousness in Psalm 106:31.
