Where Zorah appears in Scripture
בַּשְּׁפֵלָה אֶשְׁתָּאוֹל וְצָרְעָה וְאַשְׁנָֽה׃
And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,
וַיְהִי גְּבוּל נַֽחֲלָתָם צָרְעָה וְאֶשְׁתָּאוֹל וְעִיר שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃
And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh,
וַיְהִי אִישׁ אֶחָד מִצָּרְעָה מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת הַדָּנִי וּשְׁמוֹ מָנוֹחַ וְאִשְׁתּוֹ עֲקָרָה וְלֹא יָלָֽדָה׃
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
וַתָּחֶל רוּחַ יְהוָה לְפַֽעֲמוֹ בְּמַֽחֲנֵה-דָן בֵּין צָרְעָה וּבֵין אֶשְׁתָּאֹֽל׃
And the Spirit of the LORD began to move times him at in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ אֶחָיו וְכָל-בֵּית אָבִיהוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֹתוֹ וַֽיַּעֲלוּ׀ וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אוֹתוֹ בֵּין צָרְעָה וּבֵין אֶשְׁתָּאֹל בְּקֶבֶר מָנוֹחַ אָבִיו וְהוּא שָׁפַט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָֽה׃
Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בְנֵי-דָן׀ מִֽמִּשְׁפַּחְתָּם חֲמִשָּׁה אֲנָשִׁים מִקְצוֹתָם אֲנָשִׁים בְּנֵי-חַיִל מִצָּרְעָה וּמֵֽאֶשְׁתָּאֹל לְרַגֵּל אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וּלְחָקְרָהּ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֲלֵהֶם לְכוּ חִקְרוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וַיָּבֹאוּ הַר-אֶפְרַיִם עַד-בֵּית מִיכָה וַיָּלִינוּ שָֽׁם׃
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-אֲחֵיהֶם צָרְעָה וְאֶשְׁתָּאֹל וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לָהֶם אֲחֵיהֶם מָה אַתֶּֽם׃
And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
וַיִּסְעוּ מִשָּׁם מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת הַדָּנִי מִצָּרְעָה וּמֵֽאֶשְׁתָּאֹל שֵֽׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ חָגוּר כְּלֵי מִלְחָמָֽה׃
And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
וְאֶת-צָרְעָה וְאֶת-אַיָּלוֹן וְאֶת-חֶבְרוֹן אֲשֶׁר בִּֽיהוּדָה וּבְבִנְיָמִן עָרֵי מְצֻרֽוֹת׃
