Bible Figure
Dibri
male human biblical figure in Leviticus 24:11, father of Shelomith
Dibri was a man of the tribe of Dan and the father of Shelomith, whose son was judged for blasphemy in the wilderness.
Biography
Leviticus 24 identifies Shelomith as the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. Her son, whose father was Egyptian, fought with an Israelite and blasphemed the Name of the Lord. The case was brought to Moses and resulted in a divine ruling concerning blasphemy and equal justice. Dibri himself has no role in the incident beyond the genealogical identification.
Biblical Significance
Dibri's biblical significance is limited to identifying the family background of Shelomith in the blasphemy narrative. Scripture does not provide a personal biography.
