Joshua 24:29-33

Contemporary English Version

Joshua, Joseph, and Eleazar Are Buried

²⁹ Not long afterwards, the Lord's servant Joshua died at the age of 110. ^30 (A) The Israelites buried him in his own land at Timnath-Serah, north of Mount Gaash in the hill country of Ephraim.

³¹ As long as Joshua lived, Israel worshiped and obeyed the Lord. There were other leaders old enough to remember everything that the Lord had done for Israel. And for as long as these men lived, Israel continued to worship and obey the Lord.

^32 (B) When the people of Israel left Egypt, they brought the bones of Joseph along with them. They took the bones to the town of Shechem and buried them in the field that Jacob had bought for 100 pieces of silver^[a] from Hamor, the founder of Shechem. The town and the field both^[b] became part of the land belonging to the descendants of Joseph.

³³ When Eleazar the priest^[c] died, he was buried in the hill country of Ephraim on a hill that belonged to his son Phinehas.
