Original Word: תִּרְצָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine
Transliteration: Tirtsah
Pronunciation: TEER-tsah
Phonetic Spelling: (teer-tsaw')

Meaning: Tirtsah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root רָצָה (ratsah), meaning "to be pleased" or "to be accepted."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tirzah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and geography.

Usage: Tirzah is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to both a person and a place. As a name, it means "she is my delight" or "pleasing." It is used to describe one of the daughters of Zelophehad and also as the name of a significant city in ancient Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: Tirzah was an ancient Canaanite city that became an important city in the northern kingdom of Israel. It served as the capital of the northern kingdom before Samaria was established. The city is noted for its beauty and strategic location. In the context of the daughters of Zelophehad, Tirzah is one of the five sisters who successfully petitioned Moses for the right to inherit their father's property, setting a precedent for inheritance rights for women in Israel.
