Phinehas (son of Eleazar)
비느하스 (엘르아살의 아들)
Named as the son of Eleazar at Exodus 6:25 and Numbers 25:7 and 25:11. In Numbers 25:7–8 he takes a spear and thrusts through the man of Israel and the Midianite woman, and the plague is stopped; at 25:12–13 the LORD gives him and his offspring his covenant of peace, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood. Numbers 31:6 says Moses sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest to the war against Midian with the thousand from every tribe, the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand. Joshua 22:13–14 says the children of Israel sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest into the land of Gilead, to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, with ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; 22:30–32 says that the words the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke pleased him and the princes well, and that he and the princes returned out of the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again. Judges 20:26–28 says that all the children of Israel and all the people came to Bethel, wept and fasted, offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD, and asked the LORD; the text adds, “for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days”.

16“The whole congregation of the LORD says, ‘What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away today from following the LORD, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to rebel today against the LORD?
17Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of the LORD,
18that you must turn away today from following the LORD? It will be, since you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
19However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of the LORD, in which the LORD’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but don’t rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the LORD our God’s altar.

24Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
25but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice.
26Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
31That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
32They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
33because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.

1“Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.

3Behold, I will rebuke your offspring, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
4You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi,” says the LORD of Armies.
5“My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name.
6The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.
7For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of Armies.
8But you have turned away from the path. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Armies.
