Context — Joshua’s Death and Burial
6After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites went out to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance.
7And the people served the LORD throughout the days of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, who had seen all the great works that the LORD had done for Israel.
8And Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110.
9They buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath-heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 10After that whole generation had also been gathered to their fathers, another generation rose up who did not know the LORD or the works that He had done for Israel.Cross References

Judges 2:8 Summary
This verse tells us that Joshua, a faithful leader and servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110. Joshua's life and legacy remind us of the importance of trusting and obeying God, just like he did when he led the Israelites into the Promised Land (Joshua 1:1-9). We can learn from Joshua's example and strive to be faithful servants of the Lord, too, by following God's commands and trusting in His promises (Psalm 119:105, Matthew 22:37-40). By doing so, we can experience God's blessing and guidance in our own lives, just like Joshua did.
Frequently Asked Questions

Joshua's life and legacy teach us about faithfulness and obedience to God, as seen in his leadership of the Israelites into the Promised Land (Joshua 1:1-9, Hebrews 13:7).
How old was Joshua when he died?
According to Judges 2:8, Joshua died at the age of 110, which is a testament to God's promise of long life for those who follow Him (Psalm 90:10, Deuteronomy 34:7).
What does it mean that Joshua was a 'servant of the LORD'?
Being a 'servant of the LORD' means that Joshua was dedicated to serving and obeying God, and this title is also used to describe other faithful leaders in the Bible, such as Moses (Joshua 1:1, Exodus 14:31).
How does Joshua's death relate to the rest of the book of Judges?
Joshua's death marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new period in Israel's history, as the book of Judges describes the cycle of sin, judgment, and rescue that the Israelites experienced after Joshua's death (Judges 2:10, Judges 3:1-2).
