The Death of Joshua^(A)

⁷ The people served the Lord during the entire lifetime of Joshua as well as the lifetimes of all the elders who outlived Joshua and who had observed all the great deeds that the Lord had done for Israel. ⁸ But then Nun’s son Joshua, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years. ⁹ 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.
