Joshua Dies

(A)When Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went, each one to his inheritance, to take possession of the land. The people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who [a]survived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the Lord which He had done for Israel. Then Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110. And they buried him in the territory of (B)his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 10 All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and another generation rose up after them who (C)did not know the Lord, nor even the work which He had done for Israel.

But then Nun’s son Joshua, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years. They buried him in Timnath-heres, within the boundaries of his inheritance in the mountainous region[a] of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 10 After that whole generation had died,[b] another generation grew up after them that was not acquainted with the Lord or with what he had done for Israel.
