Zorah (Hebrew: צרעה), perhaps "place of wasps," a town in the low country of Judah, afterwards given to Dan (Josh. 19:41; Judg. 18:2), probably the same as Zoreah ((Josh. 15:33). This was Samson's birthplace (Judg. 13:2, 25), and near it he found a grave (Judg. 16:31). It was situated on the crest of a hill overlooking the valley of Sorek, and was fortified by Rehoboam (2 Chr. 11:10). It has been identified with Sar'a, 23 kilometers west of Jerusalem near Wadi Surar (in Hebrew Nahal Sorek). It is noticed on monuments in the 15th century B.C. as attacked by the Apiru or Hebrews.
