6
Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
7
The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel.
8
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old.
9
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.
10
Also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, who didn`t know Yahweh, nor yet the work which he had worked for Israel.
11
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and served the Baals;
12
and they forsook Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were round about them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked Yahweh to anger.
13
They forsook Yahweh, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14
The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers who despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
