Buried in the Promised Land

After these things,
Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord,
died at the age of a hundred and ten.
And they buried him in the land of his inheritance,
at Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim,
north of Mount Gaash.

Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua
and of the elders who outlived him
and who had experienced everything
the Lord had done for Israel.

And Joseph's bones,
which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt,
were buried at Shechem
in the tract of land that Jacob bought
for a hundred pieces of silver
from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
This became the inheritance of Joseph's descendants.

And Eleazar son of Aaron died and was buried at Gibeah,
which had been allotted to his son Phinehas
in the hill country of Ephraim.
(Joshua 24:29-33)
