TIMNATH-HERES*, TIMNATH-SERAH
The city that Joshua the son of Nun asked for and that was given to him as his inheritance when the land was divided among the tribes of Israel (Jos 19:49-50). Joshua rebuilt the city and settled there. When Joshua died, he was buried on the property located in the hill country of Ephraim, north of the mountain of Gaash (Jos 24:30). Judges 2:9 gives the same location, but the name is Timnath-heres (see NLT mg), which means “territory [or portion] of the sun.” This seems to indicate that the city used to be a place for sun worship.
