29 After these things, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died(C) at the age of a hundred and ten.(D) 30 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Serah[a](E) in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.(F)

31 Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders(G) who outlived him and who had experienced everything the Lord had done for Israel.

32 And Joseph’s bones,(H) which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt,(I) were buried at Shechem in the tract of land(J) that Jacob bought for a hundred pieces of silver[b] from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. This became the inheritance of Joseph’s descendants.

33 And Eleazar son of Aaron(K) died and was buried at Gibeah,(L) which had been allotted to his son Phinehas(M) in the hill country(N) of Ephraim.
