Pinchas - 2024

Chevre, this week’s parsha is Pinchas (פִּינְחָס). The parsha starts with a continuation of the last parsha. Pinchas, who defended the sanctity of The Mishkan is awarded with being a Cohen (Priest). I always felt this was curious that he wasn’t a Cohen already given his father was, but he had already been born and so wasn’t born into being a Cohen. Similarly to how EBS volumes attached to an EC2 instance after the instance is created doesn’t inherit the Tags assigned to the EC2 (EBS volumes created with the EC2 instance do inherit the Tags).
