("portion of the sun".) Joshua's city and burial place, previously Timnath Serah, "portion of abundance" (Jg 2:9), the consonants being transposed subsequently, to refer to Joshua's miracle when the sun stood (Jos 19:50). In Mount Ephraim on the N. side of Mount Gaash. (See GAASH.) Jerome draws our admiration to the fact that "the distributor of possessions chose for himself a mountainous and rugged portion," noble disinterestedness. Christian tradition identifies Timnath Heres with Tibneh on the Roman road from Antipatris to Jerusalem. But Kefr Haris is the more probable site, nine miles S. of Nablus. The Samaritans make it the burial place of Joshua and of Caleb; there are two sacred spots E. of it: namely neby Kifl, "prophet of the division by lot," i.e. Joshua; and neby Culda, possibly a corruption of Caleb. The fact that the Jews venerate a place in Samaria as Joshua's tomb is a presumption in favor of this site.
