IV-8 Pinchas: Follow The Leader

At the end of Parasha Balak, the Israelites become involved in pagan sexual worship of Baal Peor with a little help from Bilaam. Since he can't curse them, he corrupts them. Opening Pinchus, Pinchus nails Zimri, a Simeonite with Cozbi, a Midianite woman, having sex in public with one javelin toss. A plague descends upon the Israelites as punishment for idolatrous worship. A second census is taken on anticipation of entering the Promised Land. Zelophehad, a descendent of Menasseh had five daughters and no sons. They petition Moses for the inheritance of land. The women win. Moses is called up Mount Abarim to confront his death. He asks God to know his successor. Joshua is deputized. The parasha closes with record of sacrifices and festivals.
