Timnat-šerah
Opis
[= delež sonca?], kraj v gorati pokrajini Efraima na severnem vznožju gore Gaas, kjer je bil pokopan Jozue v svojem deležu [Sod 2:9 ]. To je bilo kultno mesto z izvirom. Tudi pomen imena kaže v to smer. V [Joz 19:50 ; Joz 24:30 ] je ime Timnat-serah. Morda gre za današnji Tibnah, približno 20 km severozahodno od Lide in 12 km jugozahodno od Kefr Harisa. Po samarijanski tradiciji sta bila tukaj pokopana tako Jozue kot Kaleb. Izkopavanja so odkrila številne starodavne 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.
