The biblical books called the Deuteronomic history includes

Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 and 2 Kings

Ruth Has a right to glean in Boaz's field because

the Law requires that gleanings be left for the poor

The point of the sun standing still until Joshua and his army had overcome the local kings is that

the Israelites' victory was a gift from God

Stories of brutal warfare in the Book of Joshua are

not intended to give us moral direction about war
