The people of Israel buried Joshua. They buried Joshua on the land that he had been given. That was at Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
So the leaders finished dividing the land and giving it to the different family groups. After they finished, all the people of Israel decided to give Joshua son of Nun some land too. This was land that was promised to him.
The Lord had commanded that he get this land. So they gave Joshua the town of Timnath Serah [69] in the hill country of Ephraim. This was the town that Joshua told them he wanted. So Joshua built the town stronger and lived there.
Joshua died. Then the people of Israel prayed to the Lord. They said, “Which of our family groups should be the first to go and fight for us against the Canaanite people?”
