Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The name Pinechas is of uncertain origin, but it is traditionally understood to be of Egyptian derivation, possibly meaning "the Nubian" or "the dark-skinned one."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of Pinechas is Φινεές (Phinees), which appears in the New Testament in genealogical contexts, such as in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 3:33). Usage: The name Pinechas appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of several individuals, most notably the grandson of Aaron, the high priest, and son of Eleazar. Pinechas is recognized for his zealous act in stopping a plague among the Israelites by executing an Israelite man and a Midianite woman who were flagrantly disobeying God's commandments. Context: • Pinechas, son of Eleazar: Pinechas is first introduced in the Book of Numbers. He is the son of Eleazar and the grandson of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel. Pinechas is best known for his decisive action during the incident at Peor, where he killed an Israelite man, Zimri, and a Midianite woman, Cozbi, who were engaging in idolatry and immorality (Numbers 25:6-8). This act of zeal stopped a plague that had broken out among the Israelites, and as a result, God made a covenant of peace with him, promising him and his descendants a perpetual priesthood (Numbers 25:10-13). Pinechas later plays a significant role in leading the Israelites in battle against the Midianites (Numbers 31:6) and is mentioned as a leader in the distribution of the land of Canaan (Joshua 22:13, 30-32).
