Timnatas Seraha
Apraksts
[= saules daļa?], vieta Efraima kalnainajā apgabalā, Gaasa kalna ziemeļu pakājē, kur tika apglabāts Jozua savā daļā [Sog 2:9 ]. Tā bija kultiska vieta ar avotu. Nosaukuma nozīme arī norāda uz šo virzienu. [Joz 19:50 ; Joz 24:30 ] nosaukums ir Timnata-Serah. Iespējams, ka tā ir mūsdienu Tibna, apmēram 20 km uz ziemeļrietumiem no Lidda un 12 km uz dienvidrietumiem no Kefr Haris. Saskaņā ar samarietiešu tradīciju, šeit tika apglabāti gan Jozua, gan Kālebs. Izrakumos atklātas daudzas senas kapenes.

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.
