Tirzah — a proper name meaning 'pleasure, beauty,' borne by a daughter of Zelophehad and an early Israelite capital
Tirzah (meaning 'delight' or 'beauty') serves as both a personal and a geographic name. As a person, she is one of the five daughters of Zelophehad who successfully petitioned Moses for inheritance rights (Num 27:1; 36:11). As a place, Tirzah was an old Canaanite royal city (Josh 12:24) that became the first capital of the northern kingdom before Omri moved the seat to Samaria (1 Kgs 15:21–16:23). Song of Solomon 6:4 celebrates a beloved as 'beautiful as Tirzah,' placing the city alongside Jerusalem as a byword for loveliness.
