New English Translation
The End of an Era
6 When Joshua dismissed[a] the people, the Israelites went to their allotted portions of territory,[b] intending to take possession of the land. 7 The people worshiped[c] the Lord throughout Joshua’s lifetime and as long as the elderly men[d] who outlived him remained alive. These men had witnessed[e] all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.[f] 8 Joshua son of Nun, the Lord’s servant, died at the age of 110.
