Joshua Dies

When Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went, each one to his inheritance, to take possession of the land.

And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

Gilead’s wife bore him sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, “You shall not have an inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.”

Danites Seek Territory

In those days there was no king of Israel; and in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for themselves to live in, for until that day an inheritance had not been allotted to them as a possession among the tribes of Israel.

And I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance; for they have committed an outrageous sin and vile act in Israel.

And they said, “There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe will not be wiped out from Israel.

The sons of Benjamin did so, and took wives according to their number from those who danced, whom they seized. And they went and returned to their inheritance, and rebuilt the cities and lived in them.

And the sons of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and each one departed from there to his inheritance.
