The name can be translated as "portion of the sun" or "sun's portion," reflecting its possible geographical or symbolic significance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Timnath Cherec is located in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. It is significant as the final resting place of Joshua, the leader who succeeded Moses and led the Israelites into the Promised Land. The allocation of this city to Joshua underscores his leadership and the fulfillment of God's promises to him. The name's association with the sun may indicate its geographical location or a cultural significance related to solar worship or symbolism prevalent in the ancient Near East.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">תִּמְנַת חֶ֫רֶס</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (probably = (sacred) <em>territory of the Sun.</em>; WMM<sup>As.u.Eur.165</sup> thinks perhaps Egyptian <i><em>Hï-ra-tà</em></i>); in hill-country of Ephraim, westward, <a href="/interlinear/judges/2-9.htm">Judges 2:9</a> = following (compare GFM) = <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Θαμναθα</font>1Makk <a href="/interlinear/judges/9-50.htm">Judges 9:50</a> #NAME?<em>Tibneh</em>, approximately 17 miles west of north from Jerusalem, see also Buhl<sup>Geogr. 170</sup>. <p> <font class="hebrew2">תִּמְנַת סֶ֫רַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> by metathesis from foregoing, to avoid idolatrous suggestion (GFM<sup>Judges 2:9</sup>), <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-50.htm">Joshua 19:50</a>; <a href="/interlinear/joshua/24-30.htm">Joshua 24:30</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מִנְהָג</font> see <font class="hebrew2">נהג</font> [<font class="hebrew2">מִנְהָרָה</font>] see II. <font class="hebrew2">נהר</font> <p><font class="hebrew2">מָנוֺד</font> see <font class="hebrew2">נוד</font> <p>I.
