יהושע, פרק ט״ו, פסוק מ״ח

The geographical mapping of the land naturally progresses from the flat coastal areas to the elevated terrain. After detailing the various settlements scattered across the coastal plains, the focus shifts upward to describe the cities located within the mountain region [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

Among these mountain towns is the city of Socoh. Over time, certain texts mistakenly suggested an alternate spelling for the end of the city's name. However, these proposed changes are unnecessary, as the original spelling is completely accurate and correctly preserves the true name of the city [מנחת שי].
