The number 110 symbolizes a perfect and blessed lifespan, as it is the age Joseph and Joshua reached at their death.
In biblical tradition, 110 years is linked to Joseph (Genesis 50:26) and Joshua (Joshua 24:29), both of whom died at this age after completing their divine missions. The repetition of Joshua's age in Judges 2:8 underscores the significance of this tradition. Thus, the number 110 can be interpreted as a sign of God's favor and a life lived in faithfulness and fulfillment of His plan. In Egyptian tradition, 110 years was regarded as the ideal lifespan, which may reflect cultural influence between Israel and Egypt. Joseph spent his entire adult life in Egypt, and his reaching this age may have resonated in both cultural circles. The number 110 also appears in Ezra 8:12, where it mentions 110 men among the descendants of Azgad who returned from exile in Babylon. Here, the number is used in a different context than lifespan.*
