Tirzah

is a Hebrew word meaning "she is my delight." In the Bible it is the name of a town in Israel and of a woman.
"You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, As lovely as Jerusalem, As awesome as an army with banners."

Tirzah is one of the five daughters of Zelophehad. After the death of their father, the five sisters went to Moses and asked him for hereditary rights. Moses brought their plea to God, and it was granted. To this day, women in Judaism have the right to inherit property.
