Zimri (prince)
Zimri ( Hebrew: זִמְרִי, ''Zīmrī''; lit. “praiseworthy”) son of Salu was the prince or leader of a family within the Tribe of Simeon during the time of the Israelites’ Exodus in the wilderness at the time when they were approaching the Promised Land. The Book of Numbers in the Hebrew Bible describes how, at Abila or Shittim, he took part in the Heresy of Peor, taking as a paramour a Midianite woman, Cozbi. For this sin, Phinehas, grandson of Aaron, killed them both by impaling them on a spear as they had sex (). The incident was then taken by the Israelites as a pretext for the War against the Midianites in Numbers 31. Interpretations Judaism According to a midrash (Tanhuma Pinha2.1 Sanhedrin 82b), Zimri was the same person as Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. Islam In Islam, Zimri appears under the name as-Sāmirī (الـسّٰامِرِي). Islam also assigns to him a major role in the earlier affair of the Golden Calf, which is not attested in the Bible, al ...

Zimri (king)
Zimri ( Hebrew: , ''Zīmrī'', lit. ''"praiseworthy"'', also transliterated as Zambri due to a Greek corruption of Omri), was the fifth king of Israel. His reign lasted only seven days. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 876 BCE, while E. R. Thiele offers the date 885 BCE. His story is told in ''1 Kings'', Chapter 16. Ancestry According to Louis Ginzberg, Zimri was the only monarch born from the Tribe of Simeon. Reportedly, this Tribe never received a blessing from Moses, and did not have an impact in the royal successions of Israel.Ginznberg (1998), p. 155 In ''Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright'' (1902), J. H. Allen suggested that Zimri was a descendant of Zerah. Zerah is a character in the Book of Genesis, one of the twin sons of Judah and Tamar. Zerah was the twin brother Perez, and one of the founding members of the Tribe of Judah.Allen (1997), pp. 199–207 Allen's speculation was based on the Books of Chronicles. In 1 Chronicles 2:6, another charac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
