9<\/strong>. in the border of his inheritance<\/em> ] i.e. within the district allotted to him, Jos 19:49<\/span>.<\/p>\n Timnath-heres<\/em> ] An early tradition, mentioned by Eusebius ( Onom<\/em>. Sacr.<\/em> 261, 33) and Jerome, pointed out the tomb of Joshua at Thamna, a fortified place of some importance in Maccabaean and Roman times ( 1Ma 9:50 ; Jos., Ant.<\/em> xiv. 11, 2, War<\/em> iv. 8, 1), which, from the topographical notices of Josephus ll. cc., may be identified with the modern Tibneh, about 10 m. N.W. of Beth-el, in the Central Highlands. It is not unlikely that this was Timnath-eres; remarkable tombs are still to be seen on the N. slope of the hill to the S.W. of the town. A later, mediaeval, tradition fixes the site at Hris, about 9 m. S.W. of Shechem (Nblus). Timnath-eres, lit. ‘(sacred) territory of the Sun’ (cf. Mount Heres i. 35, Beth-shemesh), is written Timnath-sera in Jos 19:50<\/span>; Jos 24:30<\/span>, and by Syr . and Vulgate here, perhaps to avoid idolatrous associations; cf. Isa 19:18<\/span>, where eres<\/em> ‘sun’ has been changed to heres<\/em> ‘destruction.’<\/p>\n Gaash<\/em> ] has not been identified; 2Sa 23:30<\/span> = 1Ch 11:32<\/span> mention ‘the wadis of G.’<\/p>\n Timnath-heres, <\/B>called Timnath-serah<\/I>, Jos 19:50<\/span>; 24:30<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres<\/strong>,…. In Jos 24:30<\/span>; it is called Timnathserah, the letters of “serah” being here inverted, make “heres”, which sometimes is used for the sun, Job 9:7<\/span>; and therefore some observe, that the whole name signifies the figure of the sun, which the Jews say was put on his monument, in commemoration of the miracle of the sun standing still at his request, and had this inscription on it,<\/p>\n “this is he that caused the sun to stand still;”<\/p>\n but this is not very probable, since it might have had a tendency to idolatry, the sun being what was the first object of idolatrous worship among the Heathens, and had the greatest show of reason for it:<\/p>\n in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash<\/strong>;<\/p>\n [See comments on Jos 24:30]<\/span>.<\/p>\n (9) They buried him.<\/strong>This circumstance is usually added in the case of kings, heroes, &c. (Gen. 23:19<\/span>; Jer. 22:18<\/span>, &c.), and this care about burial seems to point to at least a dim hope of that immortality which had not as yet been fully brought to light.<\/p>\n In the border of his inheritance.<\/strong>(See Jos. 19:49-50<\/span>.

This seems to be a mere slip of the pen (Ewald)an accidental transposition of letters for Timnath-serah <\/em>(the portion that remains), which is the reading of Jos. 19:50<\/span>, and of the best versions, and of some MSS. here. The mistake is, however, ancient, for it originated the Rabbinic story that it is a reference to the sun standing still upon Gibeah, and that the image of the sun (temunath ha-cheres<\/em>) <\/em>was sculptured on his tomb. The LXX., after Jos. 24:30<\/span>, add the interesting Hagadah <\/em>(traditional legend), that the people buried in Joshuas tomb the flint knives with which they had performed the neglected rite of circumcision, after the passage of the Jordan (Jos. 5:2<\/span>). The name Timnath has been, perhaps, preserved in the modern Tibneh, <\/em>about six miles from Shiloh. Its ruins yet contain some richly decorated tombs.
