Parasha Pinchas: Numbers 25:10-30:1

Pinchas is a very interesting parashah. He was known to be a person that was very zealous for the things of YHVH. He was the grandson of Aaron, and as such, was in line to inherit the priesthood after his father Eleazar. He is best known for his actions taken when YHVH sent a plague to destroy the people for so easily being enticed by the Midianite women to participate in their paganistic practices. While the people were being afflicted, Pinchas sees something that enrages him to the point that he took immediate actions, which resulted in him receiving a great reward from YHVH. We also get into the various sacrifices, and the rites of inheritances.
