Joshua 24:25-33

25That day Joshua made an agreement for the people and set up laws and rules for them at Shechem.

26Joshua wrote these things in the Book of God’s Teachings. Then he took a large stone and set it up under the oak tree at the Lord’s holy place.

27Joshua told all the people, “This stone will stand as a witness for us. It has heard all the words which the Lord spoke to us. It will stand as a witness for you. You cannot deceive your God.”

28Then Joshua sent the people away, each to his own property.

29After these events, the Lord’s servant Joshua, son of Nun, died. He was 110 years old.

30He was buried on his own land at Timnath Serah in the mountains of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.

31Israel served the Lord as long as Joshua and the older leaders, who outlived him and who knew everything the Lord had done for Israel, were alive.

32Joseph’s bones, which the people of Israel had brought from Egypt, were buried at Shechem. They were placed in the plot of ground Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for 100 pieces of silver. The plot was inherited by Joseph’s descendants.

33Aaron’s son Eleazar also died. He was buried on the hill that had been given to his son Phinehas in the mountains of Ephraim.
