Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: תִּמְנָה (Timnah) meaning "portion" or "assigned" and חֶרֶס (Cheresh) meaning "sun" or "sun's" (possibly referring to a place associated with the sun).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Timnath-Cheres, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Timnath-Cheres is used as a proper noun referring to a specific location in the hill country of Ephraim. It is notably the place where Joshua, the leader of Israel after Moses, was buried.

Context: Timnath-Cheres is a significant biblical location mentioned in the context of the burial of Joshua, the son of Nun. According to the Book of Judges, Timnath-Cheres is situated in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. The name is sometimes rendered as Timnath-Serah in other biblical passages, such as in the Book of Joshua. This site holds historical and theological importance as it marks the final resting place of Joshua, who led the Israelites into the Promised Land and oversaw the division of the land among the tribes of Israel. The dual naming of the site (Timnath-Cheres and Timnath-Serah) has led to various interpretations, with some suggesting that the name Timnath-Cheres, meaning "portion of the sun," may reflect a local tradition or geographical feature associated with the sun.
