Zimri

Male · 1 cross reference

This Zimri entry refers to the Simeonite prince in Numbers 25:14, not to the later king of Israel or the Levitical namesake elsewhere. He belongs to Israel's crisis at Peor. First appears in Num 25:14.1

AI summary: This Zimri matters because his single cross reference places a named leader at the center of one of Israel's most defiant acts of covenant violation. The entry intensifies the moral seriousness of the episode by showing that the sin at Peor reached into tribal leadership. Taken together, the material presents this Zimri as a prince whose conduct symbolizes rebellion.1
