Editing Joshua (section)

===Samaritan and Jewish traditions===
According to a Samaritan tradition, noted in 1877, the tombs of Joshua and Caleb were in Kifl Haris.<ref>Conder and Kitchener, 1882, p.

According to {{Bibleverse||Joshua|24:30|HE}}, the [[tomb of Joshua]] is in [[Timnath-heres]], and Jewish tradition also places the tombs of Joshua's father, Nun, an his companion, [[Caleb]], at that site, which is identified by [[Orthodox Jews]] with Kifl Haris. Thousands make the pilgrimage to the tombs on the [[Yahrzeit|annual commemoration of Joshua's death]], 26th of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar.<ref>{{cite news|title=Jews Barred from Visiting Tomb of Biblical Joshua|url=http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/265497#.VOoBKHysV8E}}</ref>{{clarify|reason=Many missing details.

It seems that old Jewish traditions once associated [[Meiron |Meron]] in the [[Upper Galilee]] with the burial site of Joshua.<ref name= HA131>{{cite journal |last1= Berger |first1= Uri |last2= Glick |first2= Alexander |last3= Shemer |first3= Maayan |title= Meron, Rabbi Shim'on Bar Yochai Compound: Final Report |journal=[[Hadashot Arkheologiyot]] |volume= 131 |year= 2019 |via= online ed., posted 02/06/2019 |url= http://www.hadashot-esi.org.il/Report_Detail_Eng.aspx?id=25539 |access-date= 17 April 2024}} Citing Reiner, Elchanan (2012).
