In the book of Joshua, chapter 23 is Joshua's farewell address to the Israelites. He told them all he was very old and that they must obey God's laws long after his death.
They must serve the Lord, who drove out powerful nations for Israel to occupy.
In chapter 24, it starts with a recap of the Israelites journey, starting with Abraham and ending now with Joshua. He told them repeatedly to throw away any false idols and to serve the Lord.
The people agreed to do so.
Joshua dies at the ripe age of 110.
