תִּמְנַת חֶרֶס

Timnath-heres is a proper name likely referring to a place, given the context in which it appears. The word is derived from "timnath", meaning "portion" or "inheriting part", and "heres", which could mean either "sun" or the divine "name". The name is used twice in the Bible, implying a specific settlement that was established as a possession or portion within the broader realm of the ancient Israelites. The significance of Timnath-heres is largely tied to its appearance as the name of a location associated with specific narratives, such as a settlement of the tribe of Dan (Judges 1:35) and possibly the burial site of the Israelite judge, Othniel (Judges 1:13).
