International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
tim-nath-he'rez (timnath cherec, "portion of the sun";
Codex Vaticanus Thamnathares; Codex Alexandrinus Thamnathar; heos):
This is the form of the name given to Joshua's property and place of burial in
Judges 2:9. The name in Joshua 19:50 ; 24:30 is Timnath-serah. "Serah" simply
reverses the order of the letters in "Heres." Scholars are divided in opinion
as to which form is correct. It is possible that the change from Heres to Serah
may have been deliberate, in order to avoid a form which might savor of idolatry--sun-worship.
The Jews and Samaritans hold that Heres is the original form.
