Its name
הבתרצ (Tirzah)[3]
Tirzah, Thersa, Tirça, Tirsa - Tirtsa - Thirtsa means "Grace, charm". Brief capital of the northern kingdom located in the Nahef valley Tirza (Faria) which descends from the mountains of Samaria toward the Jordan.
Its exact location remains unknown, but archaeologists agree to place Tirzah northeast of Shechem, on the site of present-day Tell El-Farah. Others identify it with Ofra, further south, or the site of El-Farah. According to the indications of Maria Valtorta, it would be this last site, identified (or close) to Furush Beit Dajan just opposite the ford of Adam (Adamah) through which the Hebrews entered the Promised Land.
This village has all the characteristics of lush vegetation and is fed by numerous springs to the south of the village.
