These are opportunities for you to learn. These are opportunities to see the blind spots and the areas you need to correct to become more submitted.
Phinehas embodies the zeal of YHVH. He puts the words of YHVH into practice. He is someone who takes the zeal of YHVH into his own hands, and he embodies it; he has that different spirit, the steady one that holds fast, holds the line, is patient, slow to move, operates in the fullness, he is dedicated, he is whole, and he is complete. 
So, when you look at it, it is the covenant that brings you peace. When you look at Phinehas's name, you learn to understand; you have to learn by experience; you have to diligently observe, and you have to do the commandments.
