Among the documents discovered near the Dead Sea, mainly in the caves of Qumran between 1947 and 1956, are fragments of a few manuscripts of the Book of Joshua and of texts inspired by it. After an inventory of these manuscripts and their contents, the study of two excerpts illustrates their interest for researchers. The first, from a biblical manuscript (4Q47 1-2), mentions a ceremony of reading the Law after the crossing of the Jordan (Josh 4), which calls into question its location at Mount Ebal according to the Massoretic tradition (Josh 8 :30-35) and the Greek version (Josh 9 :3-8) of the Book of Joshua. The second, from an Apocryphon of Joshua (4Q379 22 ii 7-15), includes an interpretation of the curse uttered after the capture of Jericho (Josh 6 :26) which testifies to the reception of this text towards the end of the Second Temple period.
