Timnat-Serah
Kirjeldus
[= päikese osa?], koht Efraimi mägises piirkonnas Gaasi mäe põhjanõlval, kus Joosua maeti oma osale [Km 2:9 ]. See oli kultuskoht allikaga. Nime tähendus viitab samuti sellele suunale. [Joos 19:50 ; Joos 24:30 ] on nimi Timnat-Serah. See võib olla tänapäeva Tibnah, umbes 20 km loodes Lyddast ja 12 km edelas Kefr Harisest. Samaaria traditsiooni kohaselt maeti siia nii Joosua kui ka Kaaleb. Kaevamised on paljastanud palju iidseid hauakambreid.

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.
