Burial of Joshua son of Nun

Burial of Joshua son of Nun

14Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know with all your heart and soul that not one of the good promises YHVH your Elohim made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed. 15But just as every good thing YHVH your Elohim promised you has come to pass, likewise YHVH will bring upon you the calamity He has threatened, until He has destroyed you from this good land He has given you. 16If you transgress the covenant of tYHVH your Elohim, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of YHVH will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from this good land He has given you.”

Joshua 23:14-16

22Then Joshua said, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to serve אֶת YHVH.”

“Yes, we are witnesses,” they replied.

23“Now then,” said Joshua, “throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your אֶת hearts to YHVH, Elohim of Israel.”

24And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve אֶת YHVH our Elohim and obey him.”

25On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he reaffirmed for them decrees and laws. 26And Joshua אֶת recorded these things in the Book of the Law of Elohim. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of YHVH.

27“See!” he said to all the people. “This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard אֵ֚ת all the words YHVH has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your Elohim.”

28Then Joshua dismissed אֶת the people, each to their own inheritance.

29Some time later, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of YHVH, died at the age of 110. 30And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath-serahd in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 31Israel had served YHVH throughout the days of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced all the works that YHVH had done for Israel.

32And the bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up out of Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the plot of land that Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.e So it became an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.

33Eleazar son of Aaron also died, and they buried him at Gibeah, which had been given to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.

Joshua 24:22-33

8Now Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died one hundred and ten years old. 9And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

Judges 2:8-9
