Pinchas
it’s so odd
Pinchas, Aaron’s grandson,
born too soon to be a kohen,
yet priesthood a part of his bloodline
through the lineage of Yisro,
priest of Midian.
it’s too odd
this scion of Yisro,
earns his priesthood
by eliminating a flaming ember of
Midian burning within Am Yisroel,
which his forebear had, on his own,
extinguished within himself.
odd beyond belief,
Yisro, chosein Moshe,
Zipporah, Moshe’s wife,
both kin of Pinchas through his mother,
daughter of Putiel* of Midian,
wife of Elazar HaCohen…
This Pinchas must be the one
to break the spell.
- see Rashi, Kli Yakar. Puti -> Putiel -> Yisro
