25. On that day Joshua made an agreement for the people. He made the agreement a law for them to follow. This happened at Shechem.
26. Joshua wrote these things in the Book of the Teachings of God. Then he found a large stone. He put the stone under the oak tree near the Lord’s Holy Tent.
27. Then Joshua said to all the people, “See this stone! It will help you remember what we did today. It was here when the Lord was speaking to us today. It will help you remember what happened. It will stop you from turning against your God.”
28. Then Joshua told the people to go back to their homes. And everyone went back to his own land.
29. After that, Joshua son of Nun died. He was 110 years old.
30. And they buried him in his own land at Timnath Serah. This was in the mountains of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
31. The Israelites had served the Lord during the time Joshua was living. And after he died, they continued to serve the Lord. They continued to serve him while their elders were still alive. These were the leaders who had seen what the Lord had done for the Israelites.
32. When the Israelites left Egypt, they carried the bones of Joseph with them. They buried them at Shechem, in the land Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor. (Hamor was the father of Shechem.) Jacob had bought the land for 100 pieces of silver. This land belonged to Joseph’s children.
