Context of Joshua 24:30

28Then Joshua sent the people away. They went to the parts of the land that now belonged to each of them. 29After this, the Lord's servant, Joshua, son of Nun, died at the age of 110. The Israelites buried him in his own land that was at Timnah Serah. That was in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 31The people of Israel continued to serve the Lord while Joshua and the old men were still alive. Joshua and those men had seen everything that the Lord had done to help Israel. 32The Israelites had brought Joseph's bones up from Egypt, to bury him at Shechem. This land was in the field that Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father. Jacob had paid them 100 pieces of silver for the land. Now the land belonged to Joseph's descendants.
