Did you ever have someone in authority tell you something that you thought was really weird? Then you can identify with Joshua, the Israelite leader so aptly portrayed by Larry the Cucumber in this Veggie Tales video. After years of wandering in the desert, Josh and his followers have finally found a reprieve. The Promised Land right around the corner, but they can't reach it unless they get through Jericho first. Unfortunately, the city is inhabited by a horde of inhospitable French peas. The Israelites have no idea what to do, so they return to camp to do some serious thinking. While the band of exhausted travelers throw suggestions back and forth, Josh wanders off to do some contemplating on his own. While he's away, he is visited by an angel of the Lord, who presents him with some very unusual instructions.

They don't seem to make much sense at all, but the Israelites agree to give the plan a shot. After a day of walking around the wall and being bombarded with grape Slushies, everyone but Josh is ready to throw in the towel. But a little encouragement from the outside convinces them to follow through. And when they have carried out God's full instructions to the letter, they learn that you should always follow God's directions no matter how weird they sound.

The songs in this video are wonderful, and the Silly Song is simply delightful. The Song of the Cebu, described as a "stereophonic, multi-media event," is a musical slide show gone awry. It features three unfortunate bovines based on the hump-backed cows called zebus and a hippo who poses a threat to their well-being. Unfortunately, the slide projector gets all mixed up before Larry can finish the tale, and Archie Asparagus is so upset that he cancels Silly Songs with Larry until further notice. This is one of the most hilarious Veggie videos yet, and it manages to realistically depict a Bible story too. (Except, of course, for the grape Slushies!)
