Discussion
How do both Pinchas and Joshua foreshadow Messiah Yeshua?
Numbers 25:12 G~d promises Pinchas a “covenant of peace”. The Hebrew text of this verse contains some uniqueness of its own. How might the “broken vav” in the word Shalom and the undersized yod in Pinchas reveal the Messiah?
Shabbat Shalom! May our hearts be submitted to the L~rd after the pattern modeled for us in this week’s readings by Pinchas, Jeremiah, and Yeshua.
