"My covenant was
with him (Levi, alluding to Phinehas, Aaron's grandson), a covenant of
life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he
revered me and stood in awe of my name. True instruction was in his
mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in
peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin."
He walked with me
Genesis 5:22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.
in peace

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
and uprightness

and turn many from sin
Romans 11:13-14 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
James 5:19-20 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
