Bible Person

Salu

Male · 1 cross reference

Salu is the father of Zimri in Numbers 25:14. He belongs to the family background of one of Israel's most defiant acts of covenant unfaithfulness in the wilderness. First appears in Num 25:14.1

AI summary: Salu matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of Zimri in the Baal-peor crisis. Even a brief paternal notice helps anchor that act of public rebellion in a remembered household within Simeon. Taken together, the material presents Salu as a familial source in the wilderness apostasy.1
