Commentary on Numbers 25:15
The identification of the Midianite woman—'Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian'—shows this was not random fornication but a high-level alliance between Israelite and Midianite nobility. The Hebrew construction emphasizes her royal lineage. This political-sexual alliance sought to unite Israel with Midian through intermarriage, exactly what Balaam had counseled (31:16). The naming of both parties emphasizes that God knows individual sin—no sin is anonymous before Him. Both participants bore responsibility.
