Zurishaddai
A leader of the tribe of Simeon and the father of Shelumiel, who was a leader during the wilderness census.
Zurishaddai is identified in the book of Numbers as the father of Shelumiel, the prince of the tribe of Simeon. His significance in the biblical record is tied to his lineage, as he is mentioned exclusively to establish the genealogy and authority of his son during the census and organization of the Israelite camp. He represents the tribal leadership structure established by God during the exodus from Egypt.
