Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Kozbi in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as her account is specific to the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: Kozbi is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a Midianite woman who played a significant role in the narrative of Israel's sin at Peor. Her name is associated with deception and idolatry, reflecting the root meaning of her name. Cultural and Historical Background: Kozbi was a Midianite princess, the daughter of Zur, a tribal leader. Her involvement with an Israelite man, Zimri, during the Israelites' encampment in the plains of Moab, led to a significant transgression against God. This event is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' seduction into idolatry and immorality by the Moabite and Midianite women, which resulted in a divine plague as punishment. The incident underscores the dangers of syncretism and the Israelites' struggle to remain faithful to Yahweh amidst surrounding pagan cultures.
