Timenah
to Timnah
A proper place name, 'Timnah' refers to several geographical locations in the southern Levant, mainly associated with the Shephelah and hill country regions historically inhabited by Canaanites, Philistines, and Israelites. In biblical contexts, Timnah is notable as a location involved in narratives concerning the patriarch Judah and later the judge Samson. The term itself functions as a toponym and does not carry the sense of 'assigned portion' in these textual references.
