shu.a is used as a personal name in two genealogical notices, identifying a woman connected with Judah and a sister among Heber's children.

The attested forms function as a proper personal name in two genealogical settings: one names a woman as the mother of Judah's three sons, while the other names a sister among Heber's children.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in genealogical notices · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 2:3 the APB renders the clause "from the daughter of Shua the Canaanite," identifying her in relation to Judah's sons; in 1 Chronicles 7:32 it renders "Shua their sister," placing her among Heber's children.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as "Shua" in both verses, once in the phrase "the daughter of Shua the Canaanite" and once as "Shua their sister." These phrases show the verses' genealogical presentation rather than a separate English definition.
