Hori

Meaning: a prince; freeborn · Male · 1 cross reference

Hori is the father of Shaphat, the representative of the tribe of Simeon among the twelve spies. He belongs to the family background of Israel's decisive wilderness testing. First appears in Num 13:5.1

AI summary: Hori matters because his single cross reference preserves the household identity behind one of the tribal representatives sent into Canaan. Even a brief paternal note helps show that the spying mission was entrusted to named leaders from established families. Taken together, the material presents Hori as a familial source in the wilderness generation's crisis.1
