About Shelomith
Shelomith is mentioned in Lev.24.11 as the mother of an Israelite man who blasphemed the name of God during a dispute. She is identified as the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan. Her son, whose name is not given, was taken into custody and brought before Moses. The Lord instructed Moses that the man should be taken outside the camp and stoned to death by the congregation for his blasphemy. Shelomith's role in the narrative is limited to being the mother of the blasphemer.
