COZBI

(Heb. kozbî)

The daughter of Zur, a Midianite chief. She was the wife or concubine of Zimri, the son of Salu, a Simeonite. Cozbi, Zimri, and many Israelites were said to be involved in idolatrous activities, i.e., the worship of Baal-peor. The couple’s deaths at the hands of Phinehas, grandson of Aaron, ended an Israelite plague that was understood as divine retribution for the people’s illicit deeds (Num. 25:14-18).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
