Bible Figure
Shelomith of Dibri
female human biblical figure in Leviticus 24:11
Shelomith daughter of Dibri was an Israelite woman of the tribe of Dan whose unnamed son was executed for blaspheming the name of the Lord.
Biography
Leviticus 24 identifies the mother of the blasphemer as Shelomith daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. Her son, whose father was Egyptian, fought with an Israelite man and blasphemed the Name. The case was brought to Moses, and after the Lord gave judgment, the offender was stoned. Scripture records no action or speech by Shelomith herself.
Biblical Significance
Shelomith's appearance supplies family and tribal context for the blasphemy case that becomes the setting for important legal instruction in Leviticus 24.
