Pinchas


Kohanim are the heirs of Aaron,

With only a single exception,

Pinchas receives his “Covenant of Peace”,

Not by blood, but through pivotal action.


We’re taught only sons may inherit the Land,

A yerushah passed down from their fathers,

A waiver is claimed by b’nos Zelophehad,

What if daughters don’t have any brothers?


Rebbe Yishmael speaks about Klal u’Prat,

The particular limits the general,

As with Elazar’s son, and Zelophahad’s girls,

Once the paradigm’s set, it’s perennial.
