Setelah Yosua menjadi tua dan lanjut umurnya, berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadanya: "Engkau telah tua dan lanjut umur, dan dari negeri ini masih amat banyak yang belum diduduki.
Bermula, maka Yusakpun telah menjadi tua dan telah banyak bilangan tahunnya, maka firman Tuhan kepadanya: Bahwa engkau sudah tua dan sudah banyak umurmu, maka tinggal lagi amat banyak tanah yang dapat diambil akan milik pusaka.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now Joshua was old, [and] stricken in years,.... How old he was cannot be said precisely, but it is very probable he was now about an hundred years of age, for he lived to be an hundred ten; and the land of Canaan was seven years in dividing, as the Jews generally say, and it seems as if he did not live long after that:
and the Lord said unto him: either spoke to him out of the tabernacle, or appeared to him in a dream or vision:
thou art old, [and] stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed: that is, very much of the land of Canaan, which God had promised to Abraham, yet remained unconquered by Joshua, and unpossessed by the children of Israel; and the old age of Joshua is observed, to intimate to him that through it, and the infirmities of it, he was unable to go out to war, and to finish this work, which must be left to be done by others hereafter; and that he should with all expedition set about another work he was capable of doing, before he died, which was the division of the land among the tribes of Israel.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Joshua is bidden to allot the whole of the promised land among the twelve tribes in faith that God would perfect in due time that expulsion of the Canaanites which Joshua himself could not carry further (see Joshua 11:23).

NOTES ON CHAP. XIII
Verse Joshua 13:1. Joshua was old — He is generally reputed to have been at this time about a hundred years of age: he had spent about seven years in the conquest of the land, and is supposed to have employed about one year in dividing it; and he died about ten years after, aged one hundred and ten years. It is very likely that he intended to subdue the whole land before he made the division of it among the tribes; but God did not think proper to have this done. So unfaithful were the Israelites that he appears to have purposed that some of the ancient inhabitants should still remain to keep them in check, and that the respective tribes should have some labour to drive out from their allotted borders the remains of the Canaanitish nations.
There remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. — That is, very much when compared with that on the other side Jordan, which was all that could as yet be said to be in the hands of the Israelites.
