Parashat Pinchas
Torah: Numbers 25:10-30:1
25:10
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 25:11 'Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned My wrath away from
the children of Israel, in that he was very jealous for My sake among
them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy.
25:12 Wherefore say: Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace;
25:13 and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the
covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his
God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.' 25:14 Now the
name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the
Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers'
house among the Simeonites. 25:15 And the name of the Midianitish
woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of
the people of a fathers' house in Midian.
25:16 And the LORD
spoke unto Moses, saying: 25:17 'Harass the Midianites, and smite
them; 25:18 for they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have
beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the
daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the
day of the plague in the matter of Peor.'
25:19 And it came
to pass after the plague,
26:1
that the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest, saying: 26:2 'Take the sum of all the congregation of the
children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their
fathers' houses, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel.'
26:3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains
of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying: 26:4 'Take the sum of the
people, from twenty years old and upward, as the LORD commanded Moses
and the children of Israel, that came forth out of the land of
Egypt.'

thousand and seven hundred and thirty. 26:8 And the sons of Pallu:
Eliab. 26:9 And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram.
These are that Dathan and Abiram, the elect of the congregation, who
strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when
they strove against the LORD; 26:10 and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died;
what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men, and they
became a sign. 26:11 Notwithstanding the sons of Korah died not.

26:52 And the LORD
spoke unto Moses, saying: 26:53 'Unto these the land shall be divided
for an inheritance according to the number of names. 26:54 To the
more thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou
shalt give the less inheritance; to each one according to those that
were numbered of it shall its inheritance be given. 26:55
Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot; according to the
names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. 26:56
According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the
more and the fewer.'
26:57 And these are they that were
numbered of the Levites after their families: of Gershon, the family
of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of

Korahites. And Kohath begot Amram. 26:59 And the name of Amram's wife
was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt;
and she bore unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
26:60 And unto Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
26:61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before
the LORD. 26:62 And they that were numbered of them were twenty and
three thousand, every male from a month old and upward; for they were
not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no
inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
26:63
These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest,
who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the
Jordan at Jericho. 26:64 But among these there was not a man of them
that were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the
children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 26:65 For the LORD had
said of them: 'They shall surely die in the wilderness.' And there
was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and
Joshua the son of Nun.
27:1
Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the
son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of
his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. 27:2
And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and
before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent
of meeting, saying: 27:3 'Our father died in the wilderness, and he
was not among the company of them that gathered themselves together
against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin;
and he had no sons. 27:4 Why should the name of our father be done
away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a
possession among the brethren of our father.' 27:5 And Moses brought
their cause before the LORD. 27:6 And the LORD spoke unto Moses,
saying: 27:7 'The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt
surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's
brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to
pass unto them. 27:8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of
Israel, saying: If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause
his inheritance to pass unto his daughter. 27:9 And if he have no
daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. 27:10
And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his father's brethren. 27:11 And if his father have no brethren, then
ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of
his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be unto the
children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded
Moses.'
27:12 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Get thee up
into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given
unto the children of Israel. 27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou
also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was
gathered; 27:14 because ye rebelled against My commandment in the
wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify Me
at the waters before their eyes.' --These are the waters of
Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.-- 27:15 And Moses spoke
unto the LORD, saying: 27:16 'Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of
all flesh, set a man over the congregation, 27:17 who may go out
before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them
out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be
not as sheep which have no shepherd.' 27:18 And the LORD said unto
Moses: 'Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit, and
lay thy hand upon him; 27:19 and set him before Eleazar the priest,
and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their
sight. 27:20 And thou shalt put of thy honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may hearken. 27:21 And he
shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by
the judgment of the Urim before the LORD; at his word shall they go
out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the
children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.' 27:22 And
Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him
before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation. 27:23 And
he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD spoke
by the hand of Moses.
28:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 28:2 Command the children of
Israel, and say unto them: My food which is presented unto Me for
offerings made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Me, shall ye observe
to offer unto Me in its due season. 28:3 And thou shalt say unto
them: This is the offering made by fire which ye shall bring unto the
LORD: he-lambs of the first year without blemish, two day by day, for
a continual burnt-offering. 28:4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the
morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at dusk; 28:5 and the
tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled
with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. 28:6 It is a continual
burnt-offering, which was offered in mount Sinai, for a sweet savour,
an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28:7 And the drink-offering
thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb; in the
holy place shalt thou pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto
the LORD. 28:8 And the other lamb shalt thou present at dusk; as the
meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou
shalt present it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto
the LORD.
28:9 And on the sabbath day two he-lambs of the
first year without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine
flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering
thereof. 28:10 This is the burnt-offering of every sabbath, beside
the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof.
28:11 And in your new moons ye shall present a burnt-offering unto
the LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs of the
first year without blemish; 28:12 and three tenth parts of an ephah
of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for each
bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering,
mingled with oil, for the one ram; 28:13 and a several tenth part of
fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering unto every lamb; for
a burnt-offering of a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the
LORD. 28:14 And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for
a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth
part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt-offering of every new
moon throughout the months of the year. 28:15 And one he-goat for a
sin-offering unto the LORD; it shall be offered beside the continual
burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof.
28:16 And in
the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the LORD'S
passover. 28:17 And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be a
feast; seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 28:18 In the first
day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile
work; 28:19 but ye shall present an offering made by fire, a
burnt-offering unto the LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, and
seven he-lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without
blemish; 28:20 and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil;
three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts
for the ram; 28:21 a several tenth part shalt thou offer for every
lamb of the seven lambs; 28:22 and one he-goat for a sin-offering, to
make atonement for you. 28:23 Ye shall offer these beside the
burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a continual
burnt-offering. 28:24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, for
seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savour
unto the LORD; it shall be offered beside the continual
burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof. 28:25 And on the
seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner
of servile work.
28:26 Also in the day of the first-fruits,
when ye bring a new meal-offering unto the LORD in your feast of
weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no manner of
servile work; 28:27 but ye shall present a burnt-offering for a sweet
savour unto the LORD: two young bullocks, one ram, seven he-lambs of
the first year; 28:28 and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled
with oil, three tenth parts for each bullock, two tenth parts for the
one ram, 28:29 a several tenth part for every lamb of the seven
lambs; 28:30 one he-goat, to make atonement for you. 28:31 Beside the
continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof, ye shall
offer them--they shall be unto you without blemish--and their
drink-offerings.
29:1
And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall
have a holy convocation: ye shall do no manner of servile work; it is
a day of blowing the horn unto you. 29:2 And ye shall prepare a

one ram, seven he-lambs of the first year without blemish; 29:3 and
their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts
for the bullock, two tenth part for the ram, 29:4 and one tenth part

drink-offerings, according unto their ordinance, for a sweet savour,
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
29:7 And on the
tenth day of this seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation; and
ye shall afflict your souls; ye shall do no manner of work; 29:8 but
ye shall present a burnt-offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour:
one young bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs of the first year; they
shall be unto you without blemish; 29:9 and their meal-offering, fine
flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth
parts for the one ram, 29:10 a several tenth part for every lamb of
the seven lambs; 29:11 one he-goat for a sin-offering; beside the
sin-offering of atonement, and the continual burnt-offering, and the
meal-offering thereof, and their drink-offerings.
29:12 And
on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have a holy
convocation: ye shall do no manner of servile work, and ye shall keep
a feast unto the LORD seven days; 29:13 and ye shall present a

LORD: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs of the
