25:6 Here another Israelite defiled himself with a foreign woman; apparently both Moabite and Midianite women had been involved in the scandal (25:1-3, 16-18; 31:1-2). The man’s sin was particularly brazen, as he apparently disregarded the judgment and mourning around him. • Some suggest that his tent was an unauthorized shrine associated with the worship of Yahweh, and not just Zimri’s dwelling.
