Joshua 24:25-33

25On thatH1931 dayH3117 JoshuaH3091 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 for the peopleH5971, and there at ShechemH7927 he establishedH7760 for them a statuteH2706 and ordinanceH4941. 26JoshuaH3091 recordedH3789 theseH428 thingsH1697 in the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 of GodH430. Then he tookH3947 a largeH1419 stoneH68 and set it upH6965 thereH8033 underH8478 the oakH4271 thatH834 was near the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068. 27And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 toH413 allH3605 the peopleH5971, “You seeH2009 thisH2063 stoneH68. It will beH1961 a witnessH5713 against us, forH3588 itH1931 has heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH561 the LORDH3068 has spokenH1696 to usH5973, and it will beH1961 a witnessH5713 against you if you everH6435 denyH3584 your GodH430.”

28Then JoshuaH3091 sent the peopleH5971 awayH7971, eachH376 to his own inheritanceH5159.

Some time laterH310H428H1697, JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, diedH4191 at the ageH1121H8141 of 110H3967. 30And they buriedH6912 himH853 in the landH1366 of his inheritanceH5159, at Timnath-serahH85562 in the hill countryH2022 of EphraimH669, northH6828 of MountH2022 GaashH1608. 31IsraelH3478 had servedH5647 the LORDH3068 throughoutH3605 the daysH3117 of JoshuaH3091 and of the eldersH2205 whoH834 outlivedH748H3117H310 him andH834 who had experiencedH3045 allH3605 the worksH4639 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 for IsraelH3478.

32AndH853 the bonesH6106 of JosephH3130, whichH834 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 had brought upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, were buriedH6912 at ShechemH7927 in the plotH2513 of landH7704 thatH834 JacobH3290H854 had purchasedH7069 from the sonsH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem’sH7927 fatherH1, for a hundredH3967 pieces of silverH7192.3 So it becameH1961 an inheritanceH5159 for Joseph’sH3130 descendantsH1121.

33EleazarH499 sonH1121 of AaronH175 also diedH4191, and they buriedH6912 himH853 at GibeahH1389, whichH834 had been givenH5414 to his sonH1121 PhinehasH6372 in the hill countryH2022 of EphraimH669.
