Timnath-Serah
Përshkrim
[= pjesë e diellit?], një vend në rajonin malor të Efraimit në këmbën veriore të Malit Gaash, ku Jozueu u varros në pjesën e tij [Gjy 2:9]. Ishte një vend kultik me një burim. Kuptimi i emrit gjithashtu tregon në këtë drejtim. Në [Joz 19:50 ; Joz 24:30 ], emri është Timnath-serah. Mund të jetë Tibnah e sotme, rreth 20 km në veriperëndim të Lydda dhe 12 km në jugperëndim të Kefr Haris. Sipas traditës Samaritan, si Jozueu ashtu edhe Kalebi u varrosën këtu. Gërmimet kanë zbuluar shumë varre të lashta.

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.
