Contextual Overview

13But they quickly forgot His works; They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them], 14But lusted intensely in the wilderness And tempted God [with their insistent desires] in the desert. 15So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them. 16They envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the LORD, 17Therefore the earth opened and swallowed Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram. 18And a fire broke out in their company; The flame consumed the wicked. 19They made a calf in Horeb (Sinai) And worshiped a cast image. 20Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass. 21They forgot God their Savior, Who had done such great things in Egypt, 22Wonders in the land of Ham, Awesome things at the Red Sea.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And that was counted unto him for righteousness,.... Not for his justifying righteousness before God; for all the works of righteousness done by the best of men cannot justify them before him, much less a single action: but his executing judgment in the manner he did, or slaying the above two persons, was esteemed a righteous action by the Lord himself; who upon it caused the plague to cease, and likewise gave to Phinehas the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, and to his posterity; whereby the action had eternal honour put upon it, and was sufficiently secured from the calumny of men; who might condemn it as a rash action done by a private person, assuming the office of a public magistrate; and as being a cruel one, not giving the criminals time for repentance. But all this is set aside by the testimony of God himself, approving of it; and so it continues to be esteemed, as it is said it should,

unto all generations for evermore: whenever it is spoken of, it is spoken of with commendation, as a righteous action, as expressive of true zeal for the Lord of hosts. Moreover, the covenant made with him upon it, which confirmed the justness of it, that taking place in Zadok, a priest of his line, continued in it till the Messiah came, who is a Priest for ever: see Ezekiel 44:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And that was counted unto him for righteousness - See Numbers 25:11-13. Compare the notes at Romans 4:3. The meaning here is, that this was regarded as a “proof” or “demonstration” that he was a righteous man - a man fearing God.

Unto all generations for evermore - Hebrew, “To generation and generation forever.” The record would be transmitted from one generation to another, without any intermission, and would be permanent. This is one of the illustrations of the statement so frequently made in the Scriptures (compare Exodus 20:6; Deuteronomy 7:9; Romans 11:28) that the blessings of religion will descend to a distant posterity. Such instances are constantly occurring, and there is no legacy which a man can leave his family so valuable as the fact that he himself fears God and keeps his laws.
