By Way of the Wilderness (2012)
“Not a little jealousy ensued among the Hebrews as a result of Moses’ choice, for Joshua was a young man that few people noticed, but Moses had seen in him a quality that he had found in no one else. He mentioned this to Miriam, saying, “I’ve not found so much faith in any of our people. He never doubts the Lord God.”
Joshua was probably more surprised than anyone that he was chosen for such an honorable position. He was a tough man of no more than average height, but was built like an oak and possessed an absolute fearlessness.
After the waters closed in upon Pharaoh and his army, and the people were celebrating their deliverance, Joshua did not join in the singing. He felt almost envious as he watched the dancers and singers who lifted up their voices in an explosive cry of praise to their God. But he himself was not a singing man.
What interested Joshua most was what they could salvage from the destruction of Pharaoh and the soldiers of Egypt.
