Cozbi

Kozbī) is mentioned in Numbers 25 in the Hebrew Bible as "[the] daughter of Zur", a prominent Midianite, and a wife or concubine of the Israelite Zimri,[1] son of Salu.

[2] "And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Mid'ianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.

When Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation, and took a spear in his hand and went after the man of Israel into the inner room, and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman, through her body.

[3] According to rabbinic tradition, Zimri and Cozbi fornicated in 424 acts of coitus at that juncture before Phinehas killed them.

The meaning of that precise number of coituses and whether it is meant to be taken literally has been debated by scholars.
