1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
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.
