⁶And Joshua sent the people away, and the Israelites^h went each to theirⁱ own inheritance to take possession of the land. ⁷And the people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who saw all the great work Yahweh had done for Israel. ⁸And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Yahweh, died at the age of one hundred and ten years.^j ⁹They buried him within the border of his inheritance in Timnah-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash. ¹⁰Moreover, that entire generation was gathered to their^k ancestors,^l and another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or the work he had done for Israel.^m

Israel Worships the Baals

¹¹The Israelitesⁿ did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and they served^o the Baals. ¹²They abandoned Yahweh the God of their ancestors,^p who brought them out from the land of Egypt. They followed^q other gods from the gods of the people who were around them; and they bowed down to them, and they provoked the anger of Yahweh. ¹³They abandoned Yahweh, and they served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
