Joshua 24:29 In-Context

27 Joshua spoke to all the people: "This stone is a witness against us. It has heard every word that God has said to us. It is a standing witness against you lest you cheat on your God."
28 Then Joshua dismissed the people, each to his own place of inheritance.
29 After all this, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of God, died. He was 110 years old.
30 They buried him in the land of his inheritance at Timnath Serah in the mountains of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
31 Israel served God through the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, who had themselves experienced all that God had done for Israel.
