THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL GIVE AN INHERITANCE TO JOSHUA. (Jos 19:49-51)
According to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked--It was most proper that the great leader should receive an inheritance suited to his dignity, and as a reward for his public services. But the gift was not left to the spontaneous feelings of a grateful people. It was conferred "according to the word of the Lord"--probably an unrecorded promise, similar to what had been made to Caleb (Jos 14:9).
Timnath-serah--or Heres, on Mount Gaash (Jdg 2:9). Joshua founded it, and was afterwards buried there (Jos 24:30). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Nothing is said of any express command of God respecting the inheritance of Joshua. But as such special portion appears to have been promised to Caleb at the time when he and Joshua alone out of the twelve spies remained faithful Jos 14:6-9, it is probable that a like promise was made to Joshua. The name of the place is also written Timnath-heres Jdg 2:9, by a transposition of the letters. The rabbinical explanation that the name Timnath-heres (i. e. "portion of the sun") was given because a representation of the sun was affixed to the tomb in memory of Joshua's command to the sun to stand still, appears to be an afterthought. The name Timnath-serah ("portion that remains") was perhaps conferred on the spot in consequence of its being allotted to Joshua, the last allotment made in the whole distribution of his conquests. The site has been conjectured to be "Tibneh," a village about five miles north-west of Lydda (or, by Conder, Kerr Hares, nine miles south of Nablous). |

| The word of The Lord - As God had promised, or commanded; either formerly, or at this time by Eleazar. He built - That is, repaired and enlarged it, in which sense Nebuchadnezzar is said to have built Babylon, Dan 4:30. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Timnath-serah - Called Timnath-heres in Jdg 2:9, where we find that the mountain on which it was built was called Gaash. It is generally allowed to have been a barren spot in a barren country. |
30 And they buried [06912] him in the border [01366] of his inheritance [05159] in Timnathserah [08556], which is in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], on the north side [06828] of the hill [02022] of Gaash [01608].
9 And they buried [06912] him in the border [01366] of his inheritance [05159] in Timnathheres [08556], in the mount [02022] of Ephraim [0669], on the north side [06828] of the hill [02022] Gaash [01608].
9 And Moses [04872] sware [07650] on that day [03117], saying [0559], Surely the land [0776] whereon thy feet [07272] have trodden [01869] shall be thine inheritance [05159], and thy children's [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], because thou hast wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430].
49 When they had made an end [03615] of dividing the land [0776] for inheritance [05157] by their coasts [01367], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] gave [05414] an inheritance [05159] to Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] among [08432] them:
50 According to the word [06310] of the LORD [03068] they gave [05414] him the city [05892] which he asked [07592], even Timnathserah [08556] in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]: and he built [01129] the city [05892], and dwelt [03427] therein.
51 These are the inheritances [05159], which Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and the heads [07218] of the fathers [01] of the tribes [04294] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], divided for an inheritance [05157] by lot [01486] in Shiloh [07887] before [06440] the LORD [03068], at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. So they made an end [03615] of dividing [02505] the country [0776].
9 And they buried [06912] him in the border [01366] of his inheritance [05159] in Timnathheres [08556], in the mount [02022] of Ephraim [0669], on the north side [06828] of the hill [02022] Gaash [01608].
6 Then the children [01121] of Judah [03063] came [05066] unto Joshua [03091] in Gilgal [01537]: and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] the Kenezite [07074] said [0559] unto him, Thou knowest [03045] the thing [01697] that the LORD [03068] said [01696] unto Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430] concerning me [0182] and thee [0182] in Kadeshbarnea [06947].
7 Forty [0705] years [08141] old [01121] was I when Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] sent [07971] me from Kadeshbarnea [06947] to espy out [07270] the land [0776]; and I brought [07725] him word [01697] again [07725] as it was in mine heart [03824].
8 Nevertheless my brethren [0251] that went up [05927] with me made the heart [03820] of the people [05971] melt [04529]: but I wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430].
9 And Moses [04872] sware [07650] on that day [03117], saying [0559], Surely the land [0776] whereon thy feet [07272] have trodden [01869] shall be thine inheritance [05159], and thy children's [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], because thou hast wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430].
30 The king [04430] spake [06032], and said [0560], Is not [03809] this [01932] [01668] great [07229] Babylon [0895], that I [0576] have built [01124] for the house [01005] of the kingdom [04437] by the might [08632] of my power [02632], and for the honour [03367] of my majesty [01923]?
9 And they buried [06912] him in the border [01366] of his inheritance [05159] in Timnathheres [08556], in the mount [02022] of Ephraim [0669], on the north side [06828] of the hill [02022] Gaash [01608].
