After these things
This phrase serves as a transitional marker, indicating the conclusion of significant events that have transpired. In the context of Joshua 24, it follows the covenant renewal at Shechem, where Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to reaffirm their commitment to the LORD. The phrase suggests a period of reflection and fulfillment, as the Israelites have now settled in the Promised Land, and Joshua's leadership role is coming to an end. Historically, this marks the end of an era, as Joshua was the last of the great leaders who had a direct connection to the Exodus and the wilderness journey.

Joshua son of Nun
Joshua's identity is firmly established by his lineage, being the son of Nun. This is significant as it ties him to the tribe of Ephraim, one of the tribes of Joseph, which held a place of prominence among the Israelites. Joshua's name, originally Hoshea, was changed by Moses to Yehoshua (Joshua), meaning "The LORD is salvation." This name change is symbolic of his role as a deliverer and leader, guiding the Israelites into the Promised Land, much like Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew) would later lead believers into spiritual salvation.

the servant of the LORD
This title is a profound honor, indicating Joshua's faithful service and obedience to God throughout his life. In Hebrew, the word "servant" (עֶבֶד, eved) implies a deep sense of duty and devotion. Joshua is one of the few individuals in the Old Testament to be given this title, placing him in the esteemed company of Moses. It underscores his role as a mediator between God and the people, and his life as an exemplar of faithfulness and leadership.

died
The mention of Joshua's death is both a literal and symbolic transition. It signifies the end of his earthly journey and leadership, and the beginning of a new chapter for the Israelites. In the biblical narrative, the death of a leader often prompts reflection on their legacy and the continuation of their mission. Joshua's death invites the Israelites to remember his teachings and the covenant they renewed under his guidance.

at the age of one hundred ten
Joshua's age at the time of his death is noteworthy. In biblical terms, living to such an age is often seen as a sign of divine blessing and favor. The number 110 is also significant in ancient Near Eastern cultures, often representing a full and complete life. Joshua's long life is a testament to his faithfulness and the fulfillment of God's promises. It serves as an inspiration for believers to live lives of obedience and dedication to God's will, trusting in His provision and timing.

(29) An hundred and ten years old.--The mention in Joshua 24:31 of "elders that prolonged their days after Joshua" seems to suggest that Joshua's death was comparatively an early death.[15] Had he thought and laboured more for himself and less for Israel, he also might have prolonged his days. But, like his Antitype, he pleased not himself, and, like a good and faithful servant, he entered all the sooner into the joy of his Lord.

[15] Yet Brugsch states that the Egyptians "addressed to the host of the holy gods the prayer to preserve and lengthen life, if possible, to the most perfect old age of 110 years." This may be a reminiscence of the life of Joseph, which reached this length (Genesis 50:26).

Verse 29. - The servant of the Lord. The theory of some commentators, that this expression is evidence of a later interpolation because "the title only dates, from the period when Moses, Joshua, and others were raised to the rank of national saints," need only be noticed to be rejected. It is a fair specimen of the inventive criticism which has found favour among modern critics, in which a large amount of imagination is made to supply the want of the smallest modicum of fact. What is wanting here is the slightest evidence of such a "period" having ever existed, except at the time when these saints of the old covenant closed their labours by death. All the facts before us go to prove that Moses, as well as Joshua, was held in as high, if not higher, veneration at the moment of his death as at any other period of Jewish history. Died. His was an end which any man might envy. Honoured and beloved, and full of days, he closed his life amid the regrets of a whole people, and with the full consciousness that he had discharged the duties God had imposed upon trim. The best proof of the estimation in which he was held is contained in ver. 32.
