Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Zuriel:

rock or strength of God

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Zuriel:

zu'-ri-el (tsuri'-el, "my rock is El (God)"): Prince of the house of Merari (Nu 3:35).

The word tsur, "rock," occurs also in the compound names Elizur (Nu 1:5), Zurishaddai (Nu 1:6, etc.) and Pedahzur (Nu 1:10). Gray, Numbers 6, says that a Sabean name Suri'addana is found in an inscription said to be of the 8th century BC, or somewhat carrier (Hommel, Ancient Hebrew Tradition, 320), and bartsur, in a Zinjirli inscription of the 8th century BC (Panammu Inscr., 1. 1), and that possibly the Old Testament place-name "Beth-zur" should be added (Jos 15:58; 1Ch 2:45; 2Ch 11:7; Ne 3:16).

Written by David Francis Roberts

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Zuriel:

(my rock is God) son of Abihail, and chief of the Merarite Levites at the time of the exodus (Numbers 3:35).
