Messianic
I think you should reread that parsha.
Phinehas was the grandson of Aaron, the great grandnephew of Moses, a Priest.
1 And Israel abode in [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]tim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab. 2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.3 And Israel joined himself unto the Baal of Peor; and the anger of the L-RD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the L-RD said unto Moses: 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the L-RD in face of the sun, that the fierce anger of the L-RD may turn away from Israel.'
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel: 'Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto the Baal of Peor.
'6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand. 8 And he went after the man of Israel into the chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9 And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.
Numbers 25
My quote:
"Phinehas was one of the judges (v 5, 7)
commanded by Moses to kill (v 5)
those who had joined Moab and turned against Yahweh. (v 1-3)
Moses in turn, had been commanded by Yahweh. (v 4)
Who told the Maccabees or Esther?"
