Pinechas
and Phinehas
Proper name, masculine. Refers to an Israelite individual named Pînchas, most notably the priestly figure known for his deeds in Numbers 25. The meaning traditionally ascribed is uncertain, with some suggestions relating to 'dark-skinned,' 'bronze-colored,' or, based on folk etymology, 'mouth of a serpent,' but there is no consensus. Lexically, this term functions only as a proper name and does not possess a common noun usage in Biblical Hebrew.
