(And his daughter was Sherah, who built Beth-horon the nether, and the upper, and Uzzensherah.)

And his daughter was Sherah, who built Beth-horon the nether, and the upper, and Uzzen-sherah It is doubtful whether Sherah was the daughter of Ephraim or Beriah; most probably of the former, then consequently the sister of the latter. The names of women are never mentioned in these genealogical lists unless they were distinguished in some way; and Sherah is represented as the foundress of three cities, two of which were certainly existing at the time of the Israelite invasion of Canaan (Joshua 10:10); but how, or in what circumstances, she obtained a settlement and power in that country is unknown.
