Timnah

Meaning: forbidding · 8 cross references · Modern-day map available

This Timnah entry refers to the Judahite town and related borderland tradition, not necessarily every other Timnah or Timnath mention in Scripture. It is important because the name appears in the lowland frontier region where Judah, Dan, and Philistine narratives overlap. First appears in Gen 38:12.1

AI summary: Timnah is one of those recurring borderland names that must be handled carefully. This entry belongs to the western lowland setting where Judahite, Danite, and Philistine stories often intersect, including the broader world of Samson traditions. Its significance comes from that frontier character more than from a single dominant event on this page alone. The cross references present this Timnah as part of the contested western border landscape.1
