Thank you rabbi. Reply
R. Gordon, I'm really enjoying your lessons. Thank you.
Can you explain, please, small "yud" in Pinchas name, verse 11?

I have looked in the 3 different publications of Chumush. and am not able to see a small yud in verse 11. Reply
Pinachs' name has a small yud in The Stone Edition Chumash by Artscroll. Reply
Wonderful lesson, R. Gordon, thank you.
Questions: in previous parsha, Rashi on verse 25:5 writes that each of 88,000 dayanim (judges) executed 2 Israelim for sin of Peor. That equals 176,000.
1 That happened BEFORE or AFTER Pinhas executed Zimri and Kozbi?
2. If that happened before action of Pinhas, what started first: plage or action of dayanim?
Just want to understand what happened better.

Great Lesson Worth every 31 minutes.... Reply
Rabbi Gordon frequently mentions the Cherokee when discussing contrasting tribal affiliations (as in this episode of Chumash with Rashi starting at 30:15). Among the Cherokee, tribal affiliation did not follow the father -- and being a Cherokee did not follow the father, either. If your mother was Cherokee, you were (and perhaps still are, I don't know how it works today) considered to be 100% Cherokee, and a full member of your mother's tribe.
