Masechtes Sanhedrin (82b): The Malochei HaShoreis asked the Ribbono Shel Olam for permission to punish Pinchas for killing Kozbi and Zimri. HKB”H said
to them “let him go, he is a “Kanoi”, the son of my Kanoi, an appeaser of my wrath, the son of one who appeased My wrath.”
Parshas Netzavin is all about be a Yid being a kanoi, the way of our Gedolim, Rabbonim and Askonim.
