A Short Summer Vort

Our Parsha begins where we left off last week. Pinchas takes matters into his own hands and puts an end to the public display of debauchery. He is rewarded with “Brit Kehunat Olam” which means in essence that he got the lifetime contract for his family to be Kohanim.

Interestingly enough, though he was the only one who acted while everyone else froze (including Moshe and Yehoshua), we are told that it is Yehoshua who will succeed Moshe and assume the helm of leadership. Not Pinchas.
