Why did Pinchos receive the Divine Covenant of Peace for killing people?

Written by Jonathan Grosskopf

Pinchos was basically a man of peace, like his father Elazar and grandfather Aharon the High Priest (Cohen Gadol). He therefore acted in a manner totally alien to his nature and upbringing and in that he showed tremendous Gevuroh/ Strength of character for the sake of making a Kiddush Hashem (Glorification of Hashem). I feel that action can best described by the term OZ! The final posuk at the end of the 6 Books of the Mishnah concludes:" Hashem gave OZ to HIS people and Hashem will bless HIS people with Peace. Thus it is obvious that Pinchos who showed the characteristics of OZ was the person who would as a consequence of his actions also receive the Divine Covenant of Peace!
