Phinehas

== English == === Etymology === Uncertain. From Biblical Hebrew פִּינְחָס (Pīnəḥās); further derivation is uncertain. פִּינְחָס (Pīnəḥās) has been suggested to derive from Egyptian pꜣ-nḥsj (literally “the Nubian”), from pꜣ + nḥsj. Alternatively, within Judaism the name has been suggested to be a compound of the elements פה (mouth) and נחש (intuitive knowledge), and so meaning "oracle", but this has been suggested to be an example of folk etymology made after the fact. === Proper noun === Phinehas Any of a number of figures of the Old Testament, including a son of Eli and a grandson of Aaron. (rare) A male given name from Ancient Greek, Hebrew, or Egyptian of biblical origin. ==== Related terms ==== ==== Translations ====
