Strong's Lexicon Pinechas: Phinehas Original Word: פִינְחָס Word Origin: Likely of Egyptian origin, possibly meaning "the Nubian" or "dark-skinned." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Phinehas in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as Phinehas is a Hebrew name. However, the name appears in the Greek Septuagint and the New Testament genealogies as Φινεές (Phinees). Usage: Phinehas is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his zealousness for God's holiness. He is the son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron, the high priest. Phinehas is most noted for his decisive action in stopping a plague among the Israelites by executing an Israelite man and a Midianite woman who were flagrantly disobeying God's commands (Numbers 25:7-8). Cultural and Historical Background: Phinehas lived during the time of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings after the Exodus from Egypt. His actions are set against the backdrop of the Israelites' struggles with idolatry and immorality, particularly their interactions with the Moabites and Midianites. His zealous act is seen as a defense of the covenant between God and Israel, and it earns him a covenant of peace and a promise of a lasting priesthood (Numbers 25:12-13).
