Zimri (nation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Zimri (tribe).
The nation of Zimri is mentioned at Jeremiah 25:25 in a list of nations under divine judgement. The mention is absent from the Septuagint. It may be a scribal error for Zimki, a cipher for the national of Elam (as is Sheshak for Babylon in verse 26).[1]
