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.

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 24:31

Joshua 24:33 >>

The bones of Joseph - Joseph died two hundred years before in Egypt, but gave commandment concerning his bones, that they should not rest in a grave, 'till Israel rested in the land of promise. Now therefore they were deposited in that piece of ground, which his father gave him near Shechem. One reason why Joshua called all Israel to Shechem, might be to attend Joseph's bones to the grave. So that he now delivered as it were both Joseph's funeral sermon, and his own farewell sermon. And if it was in the last year of his life, the occasion might well remind him, of his own death now at hand. For he was just of the same age with his illustrious ancestor, who died being one hundred and ten years old, Genesis 50:26.
