Judges 2:10

"They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash."

Key Reflection

This verse places Joshua's burial in a specific geographical location, emphasizing his connection to the land promised by God and highlighting the continuity of leadership within the tribe of Ephraim. The choice of burying him near Timnath Heres underscores his role as a leader who guided Israel into possession of their inheritance, even as he himself transitioned to rest in that same land.
