Zur; a Midianite prince slain by Israel; also a Gibeonite in Benjamin
Zur, meaning 'rock,' is a proper name borne by two distinct individuals in Scripture. The first was a prince of Midian and father of Cozbi, the woman involved in the Baal Peor incident; he was killed alongside four other Midianite kings during Israel's campaign (Num 25:15; 31:8; Josh 13:21). The second Zur was a Gibeonite listed in the Benjaminite genealogy of Chronicles (1 Chr 8:30; 9:36). The name's meaning, 'rock,' is a common theophoric element in Semitic naming.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper name meaning 'rock,' applied to two individuals. The Midianite prince appears in the Baal Peor narrative and subsequent war accounts (Num 25:15; 31:8; Josh 13:21), while the Gibeonite Zur appears in Benjaminite genealogies (1 Chr 8:30; 9:36). All translations transliterate consistently (eng/spa 'Zur/Tsur,' fra 'Tzur,' deu 'Zur'), making no lexical distinction between the two bearers, as context alone disambiguates. 5×
