Leader of a Simeonite Family • Wilderness
Salu was a leader of a family within the tribe of Simeon and the father of Zimri. His son Zimri became notable for bringing a Midianite woman into the Israelite camp during the incident at Peor, an act of defiance that contributed to a divine plague among the Israelites. While Salu himself is not described as participating in the event, his identification highlights Zimri’s status as a prominent figure within Israel.
