Sefer Yehoshua Thoughts

- the connection of צדק to ירושלים. The kings of ירושלים being מלכי צדק ואדני צדק. Also צדק ילין בה

- (Yeho' 13:21)- the 5 kings of midian having been originally subordinates of the kingdom of Sichon, hence, a new understanding of וירא בלק... את כל אשר עשה ישראל לאמרי

- any meaning behind the city of dvir, which is kiryat sefer, being written chaser as דבר

- why the constant mentioning of the Migrashei ha'Leviim, separate and apart from the cities themselves.. both in the original request to Yehoshua (21:2) and every single time the cities are mentioned in the list of 42..... שכם ומגרשה... גזר ומגרשה.... just include everything in one pasuk at the end .... כל אלה ומגרשיהם or something like that
