וַיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיָּמׇת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן־נוּן עֶבֶד יְהֹוָה בֶּן־מֵאָה וָעֶשֶׂר שָׁנִֽים׃
And it came to pass after these things, that Yehoshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being a hundred and ten years old.

וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ בִּגְבוּל נַחֲלָתוֹ בְּתִמְנַת־סֶרַח אֲשֶׁר בְּהַר־אֶפְרָיִם מִצְּפוֹן לְהַר־גָּֽעַשׁ׃
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnat-seraĥ, which is in mount Efrayim, on the north side of the hill Ga῾ash.

Rashi
להר געש. מלמד שרעש עליהם ההר להורגם לפי שלא הספידוהו כראוי:
The Storming Mountain It was so named to teach us that the hill stormed [shook] and threatened to kill them, because the people did not eulogize him properly.27The verse merely states that “they buried him” and no mention is made of them having eulogized him, or mourned for him.
וַיַּעֲבֹד יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־יְהֹוָה כֹּל יְמֵי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וְכֹל ׀ יְמֵי הַזְּקֵנִים אֲשֶׁר הֶאֱרִיכוּ יָמִים אַחֲרֵי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וַאֲשֶׁר יָדְעוּ אֵת כׇּל־מַעֲשֵׂה יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And Yisra᾽el served the Lord all the days of Yehoshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Yehoshua, and who had known all the deeds of the Lord, that he had done for Yisra᾽el.
And Yisra᾽el served the Lord all the days of Yehoshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Yehoshua, and who had known all the deeds of the Lord, that he had done for Yisra᾽el.
Rashi
האריכו ימים. ימים האריכו, שנים לא האריכו, שנענשו:
Lived on after [Lit. they had length of days.] Their days were lengthened but their years were not lengthened for they were punished.
וְאֶת־עַצְמוֹת יוֹסֵף אֲשֶׁר־הֶעֱלוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל ׀ מִמִּצְרַיִם קָבְרוּ בִשְׁכֶם בְּחֶלְקַת הַשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר קָנָה יַעֲקֹב מֵאֵת בְּנֵי־חֲמוֹר אֲבִֽי־שְׁכֶם בְּמֵאָה קְשִׂיטָה וַיִּֽהְיוּ לִבְנֵֽי־יוֹסֵף לְנַחֲלָֽה׃
And the bones of Yosef, which the children of Yisra᾽el brought up out of Miżrayim, they buried in Shekhem, in a section of ground which Ya῾aqov bought from the sons of Ḥamor the father of Shekhem for a hundred qesita: and they became the inheritance of the children of Yosef.

Rashi
קברו בשכם. משכם גנבוהו, לשכם החזירוהו:
They buried in Shechem. From Shechem he was stolen [kidnapped]28See Bereishis 37:14. and to Shechem they returned him.
וְאֶלְעָזָר בֶּֽן־אַהֲרֹן מֵת וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ בְּגִבְעַת פִּֽינְחָס בְּנוֹ אֲשֶׁר נִתַּן־לוֹ בְּהַר אֶפְרָֽיִם׃
And El῾azar the son of Aharon died; and they buried him in the hill of Pineĥas his son, which was given him in mount Efrayim.
And El῾azar the son of Aharon died; and they buried him in the hill of Pineĥas his son, which was given him in mount Efrayim.
Rashi
בגבעת פינחס בנו. מהיכן היה לו לפנחס חלק בארץ, שירש מאשתו:
In the hill of his son, Pinchos.29These words seem to imply that the hill belonged to Pinchos even during his father’s lifetime. But if he did not inherit it from Elozor, from where could he have gotten it? There are others who say that Pinchos did inherit the land from Elozor, and since inheritance takes effect immediately, it already belonged to Pinchos before Elozor was buried. From where did Pinchos have a portion in the land? He inherited it from his wife.
בתמנת סרח. כך שמה ובמקום אחר (שופטים ב ט) הוא קורא אותה: תמנת חרס, על שם שהעמידו תמונת החמה על קברו (של יהושע), לומר, זה הוא שהעמיד החמה, וכל העובר עליה אומר חבל על זה שעשה דבר גדול כזה ומת. ויש אומרים, תמנת חרס שמה, ולמה נקרא שמה תמנת סרח, על שם שפירותיה מסריחין מרוב שמנן:
In Simnas-serach. This was its actual name. Elsewhere it is called Simnas-cheres25See Shoftim 2:9. because they erected a figure of the sun upon his grave,26See Shoftim 8:13 where חָרֶס refers to the sun. Also See Shoftim 14:18. to indicate that he is the one that caused the sun to stand still, and all who pass by it say, “Woe for the loss of this one, who did such a great thing and died.” Others say its actual name was Simnas-cheres, and why was it called Simnas- serach? because its fruit would rot because of their abundant richness.
