Footnotes
She'erah (שֶׁאֱרָה) is one of a small number of women in the Hebrew Bible explicitly credited with founding cities—a remarkable distinction in a chapter otherwise occupied entirely by male lineages. The two Beth-horons she built commanded the strategic mountain pass from the coastal plain up to Yerushalayim, vital in Joshua's campaigns (Josh. 10:10–11) and later fortified by Solomon (1 Kings 9:17). Most remarkably, the third city—Uzzen-She'erah ('the portion/hearing of She'erah')—bears her own name, an almost unparalleled act of self-naming for a woman in the biblical record. FOG preserves the Hebrew place names; FOG Message uses traditional English forms, and adds an em-dash to give She'erah's achievement the rhetorical emphasis it deserves.
