Notes

Joshua's ancestor Joseph also lived to be 110 years old. Ancient Egyptians considered this the ideal length of life.

The tombs of a respected ancestor and two honored leaders served as a final sign that Canaan truly belonged to Israel. Even so, much work still remained. The people would need to stay alert, and at times they would still need to fight.
