Timnat-Serag
Beskrywing
[= aandeel van die son?], 'n plek in die bergagtige streek van Efraim aan die noordelike voet van die berg Gaäs, waar Josua in sy aandeel begrawe is [Rig 2:9 ]. Dit was 'n kultiese plek met 'n fontein. Die betekenis van die naam dui ook in hierdie rigting. In [Jos 19:50 ; Jos 24:30 ], is die naam Timnat-Serag. Dit mag dalk vandag se Tibnah wees, ongeveer 20 km noordwes van Lydda en 12 km suidwes van Kefr Haris. Volgens Samaritaanse tradisie is beide Josua en Kaleb hier begrawe. Opgrawings het baie antieke grafte ontbloot.

Timnath-serah
remaining portion, the city of Joshua in the hill country of Ephraim, the same as Timnath-heres (Josh 19:50; 24:30).
"Of all sites I have seen," says Lieut. Col. Conder, "none is so striking as that of Joshua's home, surrounded as it is with deep valleys and wild, rugged hills." Opposite the town is a hill, on the northern side of which there are many excavated sepulchres. Among these is the supposed tomb of Joshua, which is said to be "the most striking monument in the country." It is a "square chamber with five excavations in three of its sides, the central one forming a passage leading into a second chamber beyond. A great number of lamp-niches cover the walls of the porch, upwards of two hundred, arranged in vertical rows. A single cavity with a niche for a lamp has been thought to be the resting-place of the warrior-chief of Israel."
The modern Kefr Haris, 10 miles south-west of Shechem.
