HH: The problem with this idea is that Lower and
Upper Beth Horon were well known settlements in

Harold: so you would say that $)RH the daughter was really a descendent of BRY(H who founded the towns in Canaan, and we just misunderstand the text? Or was she a daughter who founded settlements in Egypt, the names of which were also used for later settlements in Canaan? Can we rule out either question?
