In the closing chapters of Joshua the tabernacle seems to drop out of prominence in the story. There are only infrequent occasions where the ark or altar are mentioned. But the priests are continually a part of the activities of Israel. Yet the central activities of the people never seem to stray too far from in front of the tent of meeting. And when the eastern tribe set up a reminder altar the people’s zeal for worshiping God alone is displayed. Yet all of the people acted with wisdom; they determined to true meaning of the reminder altar and praised God that he had led his people to act in accordance with his will. Joshua died in peace. He was confident that the good work that God had begun in Israel would be brought to completion as the generations continued to grow in the faith in the God of Israel.
