Joshua 24:33 - John Wesley's Notes

Joshua 24:33

31 ^aIsrael served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had ^bknown all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

32 ^aThe bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had brought up out of Egypt, they buried at Shechem, in the plot of ground ^bwhich Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of silver, and which had become an inheritance of the children of Joseph.

33 And ^aEleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in a hill belonging to ^bPhinehas his son, which was given to him in the mountains of Ephraim.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Joshua 24:32

Judges 1:1 >>

Joshua 24:33

Given him - By special favour, and for his better conveniency in attending upon the ark, which then was, and for a long time was to be in Shiloh, near this place: whereas the cities which were given to the priests, were in Judah. Benjamin, and Simeon, which were remote from Shiloh, tho' near the place where the ark was to have its settled abode, namely, at Jerusalem. It is probable Eleazar died about the same time with Joshua, as Aaron did in the same year with Moses. While Joshua lived, religion was kept up, under his care and influence, but after he and his contemporaries were gone, it swiftly went to decay. How well is it for the gospel church, that Christ, our Joshua, is still with it by his Spirit, and will be always, even to the end of the world?
