Phinehas is known for his zealous action in defending God's honor during a time of Israelite idolatry and immorality. 2. Eleazar The son of Aaron and father of Phinehas.

Teaching Points Zeal for God's HolinessPhinehas' actions demonstrate the importance of being zealous for God's holiness and righteousness. Believers are called to stand against sin and uphold God's standards in their lives. Righteous Indignation There is a place for righteous indignation in the life of a believer. Phinehas' response was not out of personal anger but a deep concern for God's honor and the well-being of the community.

Covenant Faithfulness Phinehas' actions were in line with the covenant God had with Israel, showing the importance of faithfulness to God's covenant in our own lives.(7) And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest . . . --In accordance with this punctuation, the designation the priest (which generally denotes the high priest) refers to Aaron, not to Phinehas. Eleazar was the high priest at this time (Numbers 20:26); and consequently--although as a general rule any designation which follows the words "the son of such an one" refers to the former, not to the latter noun--it appears most probable that the designation the priest has reference here to Aaron, not to Phinehas, who, although a priest, was not the high priest at this time. He was invested, however, with civil as well as ecclesiastical authority. (See 1Chronicles 9:20, where he is described as a ruler--Hebrew, nagid.)Verse 7. - Phinehas, the son of Eleazar. See on Exodus 6:25. He seems to have been the only son of Eleazar, and his natural successor in the office of high priest. Parallel Commentaries ...
