Exodus 6:25 פִּֽינְחָ֑ס Phinehas

Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These were the heads of the Levite families by their clans.

Numbers 25:7 פִּֽינְחָס֙ Phinehas

On seeing this, Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, got up from the assembly, took a spear in his hand,

Numbers 25:11 פִּֽינְחָ֨ס Phinehas

“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned My wrath away from the Israelites; for he was zealous for My sake among them, so that I did not consume the Israelites in My zeal.

Here: Phinehas, a grandson of Aaron. The name probably comes from Egyptian (Pa-nehasy, 'the Nubian'), a trace of Israel's Egyptian past. He is named first, ahead of the verb, so the sentence starts with who did it.

Numbers 31:6 פִּ֨ינְחָ֜ס Phinehas

And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.

Joshua 22:13 פִּינְחָ֖ס Phinehas

The Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the land of Gilead, to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

Here: Aaron's grandson. He was famous for killing the offenders at Baal Peor (Num 25), and God gave him a 'covenant of lasting priesthood' for it. Choosing him tells the eastern tribes how seriously the west takes the matter.

Joshua 22:30 פִּֽינְחָ֣ס Phinehas

When Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation—the heads of Israel’s clans who were with him—heard what the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had to say, they were satisfied.

Here: Grandson of Aaron and son of Eleazar. He is the priest whose zeal at Baal-Peor (Numbers 25) stopped a plague. Sending him signalled that Israel took the suspected apostasy with deadly seriousness.

Joshua 22:31 פִּֽינְחָ֣ס Phinehas

Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against Him. Consequently, you have delivered the Israelites from the hand of the LORD.”

Here: The priest famous for his zeal at Baal-Peor (Numbers 25), where he stopped a plague by killing an offender. His presence here signals how seriously the western tribes took the suspected apostasy; the name itself is of Egyptian origin, usually explained as 'the Nubian'.

Joshua 22:32 פִּֽינְחָ֣ס Phinehas

Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, together with the other leaders, returned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan and brought back a report regarding the Reubenites and Gadites in the land of Gilead.

Here: The priest known for his zeal at Baal-peor (Numbers 25). He was sent because he was the man most likely to stamp out disloyalty to the LORD. Now he brings back a peaceful report.

Joshua 24:33 פִּֽינְחָ֣ס Phinehas

Eleazar son of Aaron also died, and they buried him at Gibeah, which had been given to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.

Here: Eleazar's son, famous for his zeal at Baal-peor (Numbers 25), where he received a "covenant of lasting priesthood." The name is Egyptian in origin and most likely means "the Nubian" or "the dark-skinned one." The hill is called by his name, not his father's.

Judges 20:28 וּ֠פִינְחָס and Phinehas

and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”

Here: Aaron's grandson, probably an Egyptian name (pꜣ-nḥsy, 'the Nubian'). Remembered for his zeal at Baal-peor (Num 25) and as Israel's envoy in a near civil war (Josh 22). Naming him here dates the episode to the generation right after Joshua.

1 Samuel 1:3 וּפִ֣נְחָ֔ס and Phinehas

Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.

Here: "And Phinehas," an Egyptian-derived name ("the Nubian"). It is also the name of Aaron's zealous grandson (Num 25), which makes this Phinehas's later conduct all the more ironic.

1 Samuel 2:34 וּפִֽינְחָ֑ס and Phinehas

And this sign shall come to you concerning your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.

1 Samuel 4:4 וּפִֽינְחָֽס׃ and Phinehas

So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts, who sits enthroned between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

Here: 'And Phinehas'. The name is Egyptian (Pa-nehasy, 'the Nubian'). It is the same name as Aaron's zealous grandson (Num 25:7–13), who earned an 'eternal priesthood'. This Phinehas is his opposite.

1 Samuel 4:11 וּפִֽינְחָֽס׃ and Phinehas

The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.

1 Samuel 4:17 וּפִ֣ינְחָ֔ס and Phinehas

The messenger answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are both dead, and the ark of God has been captured.”

1 Samuel 4:19 פִּינְחָס֮ Phinehas

Now Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news of the capture of God’s ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she collapsed and gave birth, for her labor pains overtook her.

1 Samuel 14:3 פִּינְחָ֨ס Phinehas

including Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was the son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of the LORD in Shiloh. But the troops did not know that Jonathan had left.

1 Chronicles 6:4 פִּֽינְחָ֔ס פִּֽינְחָ֖ס Phinehas

Eleazar was the father of Phinehas, Phinehas was the father of Abishua,

1 Chronicles 6:50 פִּֽינְחָ֥ס Phinehas

These were the descendants of Aaron: Eleazar his son, Phinehas his son, Abishua his son,

1 Chronicles 9:20 וּפִֽינְחָ֣ס and Phinehas

In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar had been in charge of the gatekeepers, and the LORD was with him.

Here: The 'and' joins this verse to the list of gatekeepers in v.19. Phinehas is the grandson of Aaron. In Israel's memory he was the priest who acted with fierce zeal to protect the holiness of the camp (Numbers 25). The name probably comes from Egyptian Pa-nehesy, 'the Nubian'.

Ezra 7:5 פִּֽינְחָס֙ Phinehas

the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—

On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.

Psalm 106:30 פִּֽ֭ינְחָס Phinehas

But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.

Here: Grandson of Aaron and son of the priest Eleazar (Numbers 25:7). The name is of Egyptian origin, usually explained as "the Nubian" or "the dark-skinned one". He was a priest, and that matters for how his action is understood.
