  2. Explication du texte

Is there anything significant about Joshua’s age at the time of his death?

Joshua (Josué) 24:29 (ESV)

29 After these things Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being 110 years old.

Joshua’s age at the time of his death was the same as that of Joseph (Genesis 50:22, Genesis 50:26) but ten years less than Moses (Deuteronomy 34:7). The number thus positively associates Joshua with Joseph whilst at the same time making him a little lower than Moses in stature.
