shē´eÌ„Ì-ra (ש××רה, she'ĕraÌ„h; Codex Alexandrinus ΣααÏαÌ, Saara, Codex Vaticanus omits): A daughter of Ephraim, who, according to the Massoretic Text of (the King James Version “Sherahâ€), built the two Beth-horons and Uzzen-sheerah. The verse has been suspected because elsewhere in the Old Testament the founders of cities are men. Uzzen-sheerah as a place is unidentified; Conder suggests as the site BeÌ„t Sı̄raÌ„, a village 2 miles Southwest of the Lower Beth-horon (Mem 3 16).
