Timnat-Serah
Beskrivelse
[= andel av solen?], et sted i det fjellrike området Efraim ved den nordlige foten av Gaasj-fjellet, hvor Josva ble begravet i sin del [Dom 2:9 ]. Det var et kultsted med en kilde. Betydningen av navnet peker også i denne retningen. I [Jos 19:50 ; Jos 24:30 ], er navnet Timnat-Serah. Det kan være dagens Tibnah, omtrent 20 km nordvest for Lydda og 12 km sørvest for Kefr Haris. Ifølge samaritansk tradisjon ble både Josva og Kaleb begravet her. Utgravninger har avdekket mange gamle graver.

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.
