Beginning of the End - Ellen G. White

"So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and
made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. ... So Joshua
let the people depart, each to his own inheritance."
His work was done. He had "wholly followed the Lord." The
most noble evidence of his character as a leader is the history of the
generation that had come under the influence of his work: "Israel
served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders
who outlived Joshua."
