where is shimron?
Answering an objection to the post on "Ta-Ha Surah 20 verses 83-97" ~ Calling Muslims:
Someone has objected and said that as-Samiri(A Muslim legend says his full name was Harun as Samiri, odd since Harun is the Arabic form of Aaron) is not named after the place in Israel called Samaria, but He is Shimron or someone of the family of Shimron of the tribe of Issachar.
Numbers 26:23–24 (NASB95) 23 The sons of Issachar according to their families: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites; of Puvah, the family of the Punites; 24 of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites.
Below is some linguistic background on the Words Samaria and Shimron
Shimron or ְִֹׁ Shimrwn in Hebrew : shim-rone´; from 8105 in its orig. sense; guardianship; Shimron, the name of an Isr. and of a place in Pal.:—Shimron.
