Joshua 24:25-33

Joshua 24:25-33 TPT

On that day when the people were gathered at Shechem, Joshua made a covenant between them and YAHWEH, which contained laws the people were to obey. Joshua recorded all this in a book of divine instruction. Then he set up a large stone memorial at the tent pole near the holy place of YAHWEH. Joshua said to all the people, “Look at this stone! It will serve as a witness, for it heard all the words that YAHWEH spoke to us; it will be a witness against you if you rebel against our God.” Joshua then dismissed the people, each to their own inheritance. Some time later, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of YAHWEH, died at the age of one hundred and ten. They buried him on his own property, at Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. Israel was faithful to serve YAHWEH during the lifetime of Joshua and the lifetime of the elders who lived on after Joshua, those who had experienced all the miracles that YAHWEH had done for Israel. They buried Joseph’s bones, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, at Shechem, in the tract of land that Jacob bought for a hundred pieces of silver from the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father. So the land became the inheritance of Joseph’s descendants. The chief priest Eleazar son of Aaron also died. They buried him on the hill of his son Phineas, which had been assigned to him in Ephraim.
