Who is Phinehas?
        PHIN'EHAS
        (brazen mouth). 1. A son of Eleazar, and grandson of Aaron, Ex 6:25; 1 Chr 6:4, 1 Chr 6:50 filled the office of high priest of the Jews for nearly twenty years. His zeal and promptitude in punishing the sin of Zimri turned away the anger of the Lord against the nation, and was rewarded by the promise to his family of perpetual succession in the Jewish priesthood. Num 25:6-15. This promise was fulfilled; for except the interval from Eli to Zadok, the priesthood continued in the family of Phinehas until the destruction of the temple and the captivity of the nation. 2. A son of Eli, and noted for his wickedness. 1 Sam 1:3; 1 Sam 2:34; 1 Sam 4:4, 1 Sam 4:11, 1 Sam 4:17, 1 Sam 4:19; 1 Sam 14:3. 3. A Levite in the time of Ezra. Ezr 8:33.
