Nahal Sorek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Naḥal Sorek (Hebrew: נחל שורק, lit. 'Brook of Sorek'; Arabic: وادي الصرار, romanized: Wadi al-Sirar), also Soreq, is one of the largest, most important drainage basins in the Judean Hills.[1] It is mentioned in the Book of Judges 16:4 of the Bible as the border between the ancient Philistines and the Tribe of Dan of the ancient Israelites. It is known in Arabic as Wadi es-Sarār, sometimes spelled Surar,[2] and by various names along different segments, such as Wadi Qalunya near Motza,[3] Wadi al-Tahuna, and Nahr Rubin further downstream.
