Esora
Esora
(properly LESSRA, , Vulg. omits), a place fortified by the Jews on the approach of the Assyrian army under Holofernes (Jdt 4:4). The name may be the representative of the Hebrew word HAZOR or ZORAH (Simonis, Onom. N.T. page 19). The Syriac reading (Bethchorn) suggests BETHI-HORON, which is not impossible.

Esora (2)
(Jdt 4:4) is thought by Lieut. Conder (Tent Work in Palest. 2:336; comp. Quar. Statement of the “Pal. Explor. Fund,” January 1881, page 52) to be the present “village Asireh, north of Shechem,” meaning, doubtless, what is laid down on the Ordnance Map as Asiret el-Hatob, three miles north of Nablus, but not noticed in the Memoirs accompanying the Survey.
