    Description

    Timnath-heres in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Timnath-heres, also known as Timnath-serah, was a town in the hill country of Ephraim that was allotted to Joshua, the son of Nun, as his inheritance after the conquest of Canaan (Josh. 19:50). The name "Timnath-heres" means "portion of the sun," while "Timnath-serah" means "portion of abundance." Joshua built the city and settled there (Josh. 19:50). After Joshua's death, he was buried in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres (Judg. 2:9; Josh. 24:30). The town became a symbol of Joshua's leadership and faithfulness in serving the Lord throughout his life. Its location is believed to be at modern-day Khirbet Tibnah, approximately 20 miles southwest of Shechem.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
