Some Septuagint manuscripts and 1 Chronicles 2:6 have "Zimri" ( זמרי , zimrı̄ ); "the confusion of the Hebrew letter bēth ()ב and the Hebrew letter mēm ()מ is phonetic; the confusion of the Hebrew letter dāleth ()ד and the Hebrew letter rēsh ()ר is graphic" (Curtis, Chronicles , 86). See ZIMRI , (3).
