Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to desire.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Evi, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a historical figure within the Old Testament narrative. Usage: The name Evi appears in the context of the Midianite leaders who were defeated by the Israelites under the leadership of Moses. Context: Evi is mentioned in the Book of Numbers as one of the five Midianite kings who were slain by the Israelites. The account is found in Numbers 31:8, where it states, "Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword." Evi, along with the other Midianite leaders, was targeted as part of a divine command to execute judgment on the Midianites for their role in leading Israel into idolatry and immorality, as recounted in the events surrounding Balaam and the incident at Peor. The defeat of Evi and his fellow leaders marked a significant victory for the Israelites as they journeyed towards the Promised Land.
