Timnat-Serah
Beskrivelse
[= andel af solen?], et sted i det bjergrige område af Efraim ved den nordlige fod af Gaash-bjerget, hvor Josva blev begravet i sin del [Dom 2:9 ]. Det var et kultsted med en kilde. Betydningen af navnet peger også i denne retning. I [Jos 19:50 ; Jos 24:30 ] er navnet Timnath-serah. Det kan være det nuværende Tibnah, cirka 20 km nordvest for Lydda og 12 km sydvest for Kefr Haris. Ifølge samaritansk tradition blev både Josva og Kaleb begravet her. Udgravninger har afsløret mange gamle grave.

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.
