Eleazar the son of Aaron died, and they buried him in . . . mount Ephraim--The sepulchre is at the modern village Awertah, which, according to Jewish travellers, contains the graves also of Ithamar, the brother of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar [VAN DE VELDE].

This site's exposition

Eleazar son of Aaron

The book closes with three graves, Joshua at verse 30, Joseph at verse 32 and Eleazar here. The priesthood passes to Phinehas, who holds the covenant of an everlasting priesthood from Numbers 25:11-13 and is still standing before the ark at Judges 20:28. No successor to Joshua is named anywhere in the chapter, and the next book opens with Israel asking who shall go up for them first.

While Joshua lived, religion was kept up, under his care and influence, but after he and his contemporaries were gone, it swiftly went to decay. How well is it for the gospel church, that Christ, our Joshua, is still with it by his Spirit, and will be always, even to the end of the world?

And Eleazar - died - Probably about the same time as Joshua, or soon after; though some think he outlived him six years. Thus, nearly all the persons who had witnessed the miracles of God in the wilderness were gathered to their fathers; and their descendants left in possession of the great inheritance, with the Law of God in their hands, and the bright example of their illustrious ancestors before their eyes. It must be added that they possessed every advantage necessary to make them a great, a wise, and a holy people.
(Eleazar’s burial-place is placed by Conder not at Tibneh but in the village of ‘Awertah.)
