Parsha Pinchas (Numbers 25:10-30:1) TLDR: Pinchas, as you might recall from last week’s parsha, spears a couple while they are having sex. Somewhat ironically, God makes a covenant of peace with him. The two people Pinchas kills were respective leaders in their community - a “prince” and “princess”, making the killing all the more symbolic of the wariness of inter-tribe relations.
