Joshua 24:32

Joshua 24:32

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.

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.

Joshua 24:33 >>

the bones of Joseph—They had carried these venerable relics with them in all their migrations through the desert, and deferred the burial, according to the dying charge of Joseph himself, till they arrived in the promised land. The sarcophagus, in which his mummied body had been put, was brought thither by the Israelites, and probably buried when the tribe of Ephraim had obtained their settlement, or at the solemn convocation described in this chapter.

in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought . . . for an hundred pieces of silver—Kestitah translated, "piece of silver," is supposed to mean "a lamb," the weights being in the form of lambs or kids, which were, in all probability, the earliest standard of value among pastoral people. The tomb that now covers the spot is a Mohammedan Welce, but there is no reason to doubt that the precious deposit of Joseph's remains may be concealed there at the present time.
