Pinchas (פִּינְחָס‎—Hebrew for “Phinehas,” a name, the sixth word and the first distinctive word in the parashah) is the 41st weekly Torah portion (פָּרָשָׁה‎, parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the eighth in the Book of Numbers. It tells of Phinehas’s killing of a couple, ending a plague, and of the daughters of Zelophehad’s successful plea for land rights. It constitutes Numbers 25:10–30:1.
