6
And Joshua dismissed the people, and the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
7
And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders whose days were prolonged after Joshua, who had seen all the great works of Jehovah, which he had done for Israel.
8
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, a hundred and ten years old.
9
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-Heres, in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the mountain of Gaash.
10
And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, which knew not Jehovah, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
11
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals.
12
And they forsook Jehovah the God of their fathers, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked Jehovah to anger.
13
And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.
14
And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about; and they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15
Whithersoever they went out the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had said, and as Jehovah had sworn unto them; and they were greatly distressed.
16
And Jehovah raised up judges, and they saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
