Old Testament
Cozbi
A Midianite princess who led an Israelite man into idolatry and sexual immorality at Peor.
Cozbi was the daughter of a Midianite leader who was brought into the Israelite camp during the apostasy at Shittim. Her actions prompted Phinehas to execute judgment, effectively ending the plague that struck Israel. Her presence serves as a stark warning regarding the dangers of spiritual compromise and intermarriage with idolatrous nations.
