Sheresh appears only once in Scripture, listed among the descendants of Manasseh in the tribal genealogies. The name may be related to the Hebrew root for 'root' (shoresh), though the connection remains uncertain. The Septuagint renders it variously as Souros or Phoros, reflecting different textual traditions. Like many genealogical names, Sheresh preserves the memory of a family line within one of Israel's tribes.
