was Cozbi
Cozbi (כֹּזְבִי) is a proper name referring to a Midianite woman, specifically identified in Numbers 25 as the daughter of Zur, a prominent Midianite leader. The name is derived from a Hebrew root meaning 'lie' or 'deceive,' and so may convey the notion of 'deceptive,' 'false,' or 'untruthful.' Its semantic range, in context, is primarily as a personal name but may imply associated qualities of falsehood or deception if interpreted etymologically.
