tim.nat se.rach is the named place given as a city and later named as the site of burial within an inheritance.

The term is used as a proper place name: it identifies the city given and inhabited in Joshua 19:50 and the location within an inheritance where burial occurs in Joshua 24:30.

Senses in use

  1. Named city and burial location · dominant

    Both occurrences are marked Noun · Proper and identify the same place. In Joshua 19:50 the APB renders the clause "Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim; he built the city and dwelt in it," while in Joshua 24:30 it renders burial "at Timnath-serah" within the border of an inheritance.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Timnath-serah" in both verses, first in connection with a city and then as the location of burial. It confirms the place reference without isolating each original-language element.
