Joshua 24:30 says they buried Joshua in Timnathserah, and Judges 2:9 says they buried him in Timnath Heres; the names differ in both editions (딤낫 세라, 딤낫 헤레스), and both verses use the same words: in the border of his inheritance, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash. The text does not say that the two names are one place. This collection records them as two entries, because the names differ, and does not decide whether they are the same place.
