Context of Joshua 24:29

27Joshua said to all the people, ‘Look at this stone! It has heard everything that the Lord has said to us today! It will speak against you if you fail to obey your God!’ 28Then Joshua sent the people away. They went to the parts of the land that now belonged to each of them. After this, the Lord's servant, Joshua, son of Nun, died at the age of 110. 30The Israelites buried him in his own land that was at Timnah Serah. That was in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 31The people of Israel continued to serve the Lord while Joshua and the old men were still alive. Joshua and those men had seen everything that the Lord had done to help Israel.
