Sheerah

People · Updated 2026-05-08

Sheerah is a daughter of Ephraim credited in UPDV at 1 Chronicles 7:24 with building three towns: "And his daughter was Sheerah, who built Beth-horon the nether and the upper, and Uzzen-sheerah."

She is notable as one of the few women in the Hebrew Bible explicitly named as a founder of cities, with the town Uzzen-sheerah apparently preserving her name.
