Timnat-Serah
Opis
[= udio sunca?], mjesto u planinskoj regiji Efrajima na sjevernom podnožju planine Gaash, gdje je Jošua bio pokopan u svom dijelu [Suci 2:9 ]. Bilo je to kultno mjesto s izvorom. Značenje imena također ukazuje u tom smjeru. U [Jš 19:50 ; Jš 24:30 ], ime je Timnat-serah. Možda je to današnja Tibnah, oko 20 km sjeverozapadno od Lide i 12 km jugozapadno od Kefr Harisa. Prema samarijanskoj tradiciji, ovdje su pokopani i Jošua i Kaleb. Iskopavanja su otkrila mnoge drevne grobnice.

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.
