Phinehas or Pinhas (Hebrew: פִּינְחָס, Modern Pinəḥas Tiberian Pînəħās) was the grandson of Aaron, and son of Eleazar the high priest (Exodus 6:25), who distinguished himself as a youth at Shittim by his zeal against the Heresy of Peor: the immorality with which the Moabites and Midianites had successfully tempted the people (Numbers 25:1-9) to worship Baal-peor. He is commemorated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church on September 2.
