Thimnathah

תִּמְנָתָה/thim-NAY-thah/

“A portion there; thou shalt number there”

Summary

A city in the territory allotted to the tribe of Dan, located between Elon and Ekron.

☩Biblical Reference

Thimnathah appears only in Joshua 19:43 in the list of cities assigned to the tribe of Dan. The name is correctly rendered 'Timnah' in later translations, with the Hebrew locale suffix indicating direction 'toward Timnah.' It is named in the allotment list between Elon and Ekron.

Key verses:Joshua 19:43

☩Identification

The site has been identified by some scholars with modern Tibneh, located at approximately 32°1'N, 35°6'E. The name appears to be the same as that of the residence of Samson's wife, connecting it to the broader narrative of Israelite settlement in the Shephelah region.

Key verses:Judges 14:1-2
