“And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath–heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.”
They buried him in the territory of his inheritance at Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. — Joshua's burial 'in the territory of his inheritance' indicates that even in death he remained connected to the land he conquered. Timnath-heres, located in Ephraim's hill country north of Mount Gaash, represented Joshua's personal allotment within the tribal territories he distributed to others. The specific geographical details suggest scribal precision in preserving Joshua's burial location.
