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.
