Judges 2:6–13

Joshua’s Death and Burial

^6aThen Joshua sent the people away, and the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to possess the land.

⁷And the people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who ¹survived Joshua, who saw all the great work of Yahweh which He had done for Israel.

⁸Then Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died at the age of 110.

⁹And they buried him in the territory of ^ahis inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

¹⁰And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who ^adid not know Yahweh or even the work which He had done for Israel.

Israel Serves Baals

¹¹Then the sons of Israel did ^awhat was evil in the eyes of Yahweh and ¹served the ^bBaals,

¹²and ^athey forsook Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them and bowed themselves down to them; thus they provoked Yahweh to anger.

¹³So they forsook Yahweh and ^aserved Baal and the Ashtaroth.
