JONAH C. STEINBERG: “I completed the minyan of Israel in Egypt,” Serach declares, in a refreshing use of the traditional term for a stipulated number, when she calls out to David’s military chief of staff, Yoav, according to the rabbinic elaboration of a story in the Second book of Samuel, taking Yoav by surprise as the peace-making “wise woman” of a city in the hill country of Ephraim that he has somewhat wantonly besieged.
he requests as an old man, after his valedictory speech to the people, a town called Timnat-Serach in the hill country of Ephraim. (Joshua 19:50, 24:30) I have not yet found any ancient source that makes a point of this, but if you were Joshua - one of two men to have lived all the way through the Exodus and into the Promised Land - would you not wish to hang out, in your retirement, with someone who had seen it all as well? I picture Joshua and the even older Serach sitting on a hillside in Ephraim, musing together about young people and what’s becoming of the land.
Timnath Serah Written by Joseph C
It weighs heavy on you
Even when you've never spoken before
And when they pass through the distance
Like a radiowave, or a stormcloud
And to see how many rivers snake to their final shake
That drips off like morning dew in the middle of the night
Would I be missed that much?
BINU: I believe God has given each of us an allotment. The schools and churches we attend, the jobs we go to, the gyms or coffee shops we frequent, our homes, our neighborhoods, our cities…it may not look like much at first, but we must remember, God has strategically placed us there. He is saying, "That's yours. That's your allotment, your sphere of influence, your Timnath Serah."
MOSHE: It is Joshua that merits in inheriting the city of "Timnat Serach" in the land of Ephraim. "In accordance with the command of the LORD they gave him the city for which he asked, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. So he built the city and settled in it. (Joshua 19:50)
Does the name of this city sound familiar to you? Yes, the same name as Serah the daughter of Asher.
