tsor.ah is a place-name used in accounts of boundaries, local origin, travel, burial, construction, and settlement.

The attested use is consistently as a proper place-name: it marks a boundary location, identifies where people come from or return to, locates activity and burial, and appears among built or inhabited places.

    The form is tagged Noun · Proper in every cited occurrence. In Joshua 19:41 the APB renders it within the boundary of an inheritance, while Judges 13:25 and Judges 16:31 place activity and burial between it and Eshtaol. It also identifies the origin of men in Judges 18:2, a fortress city in 2 Chronicles 11:10, and an inhabited location in Nehemiah 11:29.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the term as “Zorah” in geographic phrases such as “from Zorah and from Eshtaol,” “between Zorah and Eshtaol,” and “in Zorah.” These phrases show the verse-level setting rather than a separate English definition.
