Judges 2:6

And when Joshua had let the people go, literally, "And Joshua sent away the people"; for here the narrative is continued from the last paragraph of the Book of Joshua, in almost the identical words, Joshua 24:28-31, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
