“And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel.”
The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua and had seen all the great work that the LORD did for Israel. — The faithfulness of the Joshua generation extended through both Joshua's lifetime and that of the 'elders who outlived Joshua', indicating that covenant fidelity persisted so long as living witnesses to God's mighty acts remained to transmit the conquest narrative. The phrase 'had seen all the great work that the LORD did' emphasizes that direct witnessing of divine action sustained covenant commitment.
