Joshua

What this page covers

Where the songs go in Joshua

The 26 songs here set 6 of the 6 movements in Joshua to music: “Be Strong, and Cross Over” (Joshua 1–5), “Walls, and a Man Who Kept Some Loot” (Joshua 6–8), “Worn Shoes and a Sun That Stood Still” (Joshua 9–12), “Dividing What Is Not Yet Taken” (Joshua 13–19), “Cities of Refuge and the Levite Towns” (Joshua 20–21) and “Choose You This Day” (Joshua 22–24). Others take the book as a whole.

Be Strong, and Cross Over (Joshua 1–5). Moses is dead and the order is to get up and go over.

Dividing What Is Not Yet Taken (Joshua 13–19). The land is parcelled out by lot, tribe by tribe, including ground still held by somebody else.

Choose You This Day (Joshua 22–24). The eastern tribes build an altar by the Jordan and nearly start a civil war before they explain that it is a witness, not a rival.
