“And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:”
Joshua summoned all Israel, their elders and heads, their judges and officers, and said to them, 'I am now old and well advanced in years — Joshua's summons of all Israel's leadership (elders, heads, judges, officers) indicates a formal covenant assembly. Joshua's acknowledgment of his own age and approaching death frames the address as final instruction; the continuity of covenant requires transmission of knowledge to the next generation.
