Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred ten years. — Joshua's death at 'one hundred ten years' parallels the lifespans of prominent patriarchs and covenantal figures, suggesting that longevity signified divine blessing and the completion of covenant purposes. The designation 'servant of the LORD' identifies Joshua's fundamental identity as one devoted to God's purposes. Joshua's natural death suggests a peaceful conclusion to a fulfilled life, contrasting with the violent or ignominious ends that characterize many figures in Judges.
