Death of Joshua and Eleazar

29 aNow it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.  
30 And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at aTimnath Serah, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.  
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.

Joshua 24:30

And they buried him - in Timnath-serah - This was his own inheritance, as we have seen Joshua 19:50. The Septuagint add here, "And they put with him there, in the tomb in which they buried him, the knives of stone with which he circumcised the children of Israel in Gilgal, according as the Lord commanded when he brought them out of Egypt; and there they are till this day." St. Augustine quotes the same passage in his thirtieth question on the book of Joshua, which, in all probability, he took from some copy of the Septuagint. It is very strange that there is no account of any public mourning for the death of this eminent general; probably, as he was buried in his own inheritance, he had forbidden all funeral pomp, and it is likely was privately interred.
