Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 106:31

31. And that was counted unto him for righteousness , unto all generations for evermore.

And although that action of his might seem harsh, and rash, and irregular, as being done by a private Person and a Priest, and as allowing the Delinquents no space for Repentance, it was accepted and rewarded by God as an act of Justice and Piety agreeable to his mind, and proceeding from a sincere zeal for Gods honour, and for the good of Gods People; and God gave him a publick Testimony of his approbation to be recorded to all Generations, and the Priesthood to be continued to him and his in all succeeding Generations, of all which see Numb. 25.
