Commentary for Judges 2:9
וַיִּקְבְּר֤וּ אוֹתוֹ֙ בִּגְב֣וּל נַחֲלָת֔וֹ בְּתִמְנַת־חֶ֖רֶס בְּהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם מִצְּפ֖וֹן לְהַר־גָּֽעַשׁ׃
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
Rashi on Judges
At Timnas Cheres. So entitled because a likeness of the sun11‘Timnas Serach’ is literally translated as ‘The likeness of the sun’. was placed over his grave, as if to say, "Alas, that a man who halted the sun12Yehoshua ordered the sun to stand still, and the sun obeyed. (Yehoshua, 10:12,13.) lies in the grave."
