In addition to three scrolls containing the Book of Joshua, the
Qumran caves brought to light five previously unknown texts
rewriting this book. These scrolls (4Q123, 4Q378, 4Q379, 4Q522,
5Q9), as well as a scroll from Masada (Mas 1039-211), are commonly
referred to as the Apocryphon of Joshua. While each of these
manuscripts has received some scholarly attention, no attempt has
yet been made to offer a detailed study of all these texts. The
present monograph fills this gap by providing improved editions of
the six scrolls, an up-to-date commentary and a detailed discussion
of the biblical exegesis embedded in each scroll. The analysis of
the texts is followed by a reassessment of the widely accepted view
considering 4Q123, 4Q378, 4Q379, 4Q522, 5Q9 and Mas 1039-211 as
copies of a single composition. Finally, the monograph attempts to
place the Qumran scrolls rewriting the Book of Joshua within the
wider context of Second Temple Jewish writings concerned with the
figure of Joshua.
