Psalms 106:31
It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
BSB
ASV
And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.

And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. Down to the moment when this psalm was penned the house of Phinehas was honoured in Israel. His faith had performed a valorous deed, and his righteousness was testified of the Lord, and honoured by the continuance of his family in the priesthood. He was impelled by motives that what would otherwise have been a deed of blood was justified in the sight of God; nay, more, was made the evidence that Phinehas was righteous.
