An Era Ends
29 After all this[a] Joshua son of Nun, the Lord’s servant, died at the age of 110. 30 They buried him in his allotted territory[b] in Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 31 Israel worshiped[c] the Lord throughout Joshua’s lifetime and as long as the elderly men who outlived him remained alive.[d] These men had experienced firsthand everything the Lord had done for Israel.[e]
32 The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the part of the field that Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for 100 pieces of money.[f] So it became the inheritance of the tribe of Joseph.[g]
33 Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they buried him in Gibeah in the hill country of Ephraim, where his son Phinehas had been assigned land.[h]

- Joshua 24:32 tn Heb “one hundred qesitahs.” The Hebrew word קְשִׂיטָה (qesitah) is generally understood to refer to a unit of money, but the value and/or weight is unknown. The word occurs only here and in Gen 33:19 and Job 42:11.
- Joshua 24:32 tn Heb “and they became for the sons of Joseph an inheritance.” One might think “bones” is the subject of the verb “they became,” but the verb is masculine, while “bones” is feminine. The translation follows the emendation suggested in the BHS note, which appeals to the Syriac and Vulgate for support. The emended reading understands “the part (of the field)” as the subject of the verb “became.” The emended verb is feminine singular; this agrees with “the part” (of the field), which is feminine in Hebrew.
- Joshua 24:33 tn Heb “in Gibeah of Phinehas, his son, which had been given to him in the hill country of Ephraim.”

Joshua’s Death and Burial
29 Now it came about after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being 110 years old. 30 And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance, in (A)Timnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash.
31 (B)Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who [a]survived Joshua, and had known every deed of the Lord which He had done for Israel.
32 Now (C)they buried the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up from Egypt, at Shechem, in the plot of land (D)which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred [b]pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of Joseph’s sons. 33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him at Gibeah, the town of his son (E)Phinehas, which was given to him in the hill country of Ephraim.
