Probably {zonah} should be rendered as in Jos 2:1, a hostess,
or inn-keeper: so Targum of Jonathan, {wehoo bar ittetha

tavern-keeper." She was very probably a Canaanite, as she is
called, ver. 2, a strange woman, {ishah achereth,} "a woman of
another race;" and on this account his brethren drove him from
the family, as not having a full right to the inheritance.
