Best Answer

Joshua died at age 110.

He conquered the land for 7 years.

He divided the land for 7 years.

That would make him 96 years old when he took over for Moses.

However there's no clear information how long he lived after conquering and dividing the land - so he may have been younger.

Reese Chronological Bible complied by Frank R. Klassen (Bethany House Publishers, 1977) indicates that the Israelites entered the Promised Land in 1422 B.C. (Joshua 1) and that Joshua died in 1372 B.C (Joshua 24:29). If this is true, this means that Joshua was in the Promised Land for 50 years. Since Joshua 24:29 says he died at the age of 110 years, this would imply that Joshua was 60 years old when he entered the land. Also, he would have been 20 years of age at the time he gave the good report to the nation of Israel. This agrees with Numbers 11:28.
