Joshua 16:1–17:18 (ESV)

1 The allotment of the people of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel.

Psalm 105 and Psalm 116

There are a number of psalms that would be especially appropriate for singing with a sermon from Joshua 16–17. Psalm 105:1–45 recounts the history of Joseph in Egypt (Psalm 105:12–25) and would be a good song to sing before the sermon. Psalm 116:1–19 conveys the response that God’s people are to make to their salvation, obedience, and commitment to honour God. This would be a good song to sing after the sermon—an encouragement to live in the light of God’s promises.
