30:10 – After the battles of Jericho and Ai, which were previously described in detail, the rest of the conquest becomes kind of a blur. There are a few interesting moments, however, like when huge rocks fall from the sky and the sun stands still for about a day. And oh yeah, when a neighboring tribe pulls a scam on Joshua and as punishment they are made to serve as lumberjacks and water boys.

29:48 – Why did the Ark of the Covenant go ahead of the Israelites, when before it had traveled in their midst? Why were the people commanded to stay more than half a mile away from it as it entered the Jordan River? Were those really Levites carrying the Ark, or something else? Why did Joshua’s spies visit a prostitute in Jericho? Why are all Dave in Kentucky’s AI-generated songs in the Bluegrass style? Why ask why?

30:17 – Dave in Kentucky takes an in-depth look at the first two chapters of the Book of Job, and finds not just one God, but several gods. Was Satan one of them? Was he one of the Watchers who descended to earth and spawned the Nephilim? What is Yahweh’s place in the polytheistic pantheon? Was he subordinate to any other god? If so, who? Answers are found in the canonical Book of Deuteronomy, the semi-canonical Book of Enoch, and even in the Psalms.

30:00 – Did Moses fake his own death, or did he have help? Where did he go, and how did he reappear approximately 1200 years later at the Transfiguration of Jesus? Who was that Elias fellow that appeared with him, and how did he get there? How did Moses go 40 days and nights without eating food or drinking water when he finally retrieved a pair of intact stone tablets from Mt. Sinai? What made his face so shiny when he came down? Dave in Kentucky has the answers to these and other important questions, and he tells the story both verbally and musically, with the able assistance of the Suno AI.
