Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tirzah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and geography. Usage: Tirzah is used in the Hebrew Bible as both a personal name and a geographical location. As a name, it is given to one of the daughters of Zelophehad (Numbers 26:33). As a place, Tirzah was a significant city in the northern kingdom of Israel, serving as a royal city before Samaria became the capital. Cultural and Historical Background: Tirzah was an important city in ancient Israel, known for its beauty and strategic location. It was the capital of the northern kingdom during the reigns of several kings, including Jeroboam I and Baasha. The city's name, meaning "pleasure" or "delight," reflects its favorable conditions and possibly its aesthetic appeal.
