  "description_academic_short": "Uzzensheerah is best treated as a spelling variant of Uzzen-sheerah, the place named in 1 Chronicles 7:24. The biblical notice is brief and genealogical in context.",
  "description_academic_full": "Uzzensheerah is not a distinct theological concept or biblical person; it is a spelling variant of Uzzen-sheerah, the place named in 1 Chronicles 7:24. The verse lists the location in connection with the Ephraimite genealogy and related town building activity. Because the underlying referent is a place-name, this row should redirect to the canonical Uzzen-sheerah entry rather than stand as a separate theological-term page.",
