Strong's Lexicon Timnath Cherec: Timnath Serah, Timnath Heres Original Word: תִּמְנַת חֶרֶס Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: תִּמְנָה (Timnah) meaning "portion" or "allotted portion" and חֶרֶס (Cherec) meaning "sun" or "sun disk." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Timnath Cherec in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Timnath Cherec is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to the city given to Joshua as his inheritance in the land of Canaan. The name can be translated as "portion of the sun" or "sun's portion," reflecting its possible geographical or symbolic significance. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
