From e0a35fee8ed78b9288f873f07da130af0d7bbe65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Craig Buckmaster Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 20:01:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(lenses): Joshua 1-24 lens content, batch 1 of Historical Books (#820, #1783) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 73 hermeneutic lens entries across all 24 chapters of Joshua. This is the template-setting batch for #1783. Sets the panel-mix template for narrative-conquest genre, swapping in Joshua-specialist scholars (howard NAC, hess TOTC) for the Pentateuch's craigie/tigay. Per-chapter distribution: - 11 chapters at 2 lenses (allotment / boundary-list chapters: 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21 + procedural 22 + summary 23 — wait, recount: jos11-13, 15-19, 21 = 9 chapters at 2 lenses) - 9 chapters at 3 lenses (jos4, 8, 9, 10, 14, 20, 22, 23) - 4 chapters at 4 lenses (jos1, 3, 5, 7) - 2 chapters at 5 lenses (jos2 Rahab, jos6 Jericho, jos24 Shechem) Theological highlights: - jos1 commission — canonical anchored on Heb 13:5-6 ('I will never leave you nor forsake you') - jos2 Rahab — christocentric/canonical anchored on Mt 1:5 (Christ's genealogy), Heb 11:31, Jas 2:25; mission anchored on the gospel reaching Canaan from inside - jos5 Commander of the LORD's army — typological anchored on Rev 19:11-16 (divine-warrior Christ) - jos6 Jericho — christocentric anchored on Heb 11:30 ('by faith the walls of Jericho fell') - jos7 Achan — canonical anchored on Acts 5:1-11 (Ananias and Sapphira pattern) - jos11 'land had rest' — redemptive anchored on Heb 4:8-9 ('if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day' — greater Joshua brings greater rest) - jos20 cities of refuge — typological anchored on Heb 6:18 (Christ as refuge for sinners) - jos21:45 'not one of all the LORD's good promises failed' — canonical anchored on 2 Cor 1:20 (all promises Yes in Christ) - jos24 Shechem — christocentric anchored on Mt 6:24 (the choose- this-day question recast as no-one-can-serve-two-masters) Pipeline gates: - schema_validator: 0 failures (150,184 passed) - lens_quality_scorer: 100/100 across all 73 entries - build_sqlite: chapter_lens_content rows 661 -> 734 (delta = 73) - validate_sqlite: 0 failures (2 pre-existing warnings non-fatal) Notes for downstream batches: - chapter_id format is josh{N} (NOT jos{N}) - Joshua scholar set: howard, hess, mac, calvin, net (Pentateuch's craigie/tigay are NOT in Joshua content; verified by inventory of all 24 source chapters before authoring) - Panel-mix templates swap craigie/tigay -> howard/hess but otherwise match the Pentateuch shape This PR opens #1783. Subsequent batches (Judges, Ruth, 1-2 Samuel, 1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther) will use this template, with scholar-set verification per book before authoring. --- .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh1.json | 66 +++++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh10.json | 50 +++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh11.json | 36 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh12.json | 34 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh13.json | 36 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh14.json | 52 ++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh15.json | 34 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh16.json | 36 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh17.json | 34 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh18.json | 34 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh19.json | 36 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh2.json | 80 ++++++++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh20.json | 50 +++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh21.json | 34 ++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh22.json | 50 +++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh23.json | 52 ++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh24.json | 82 +++++++++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh3.json | 68 +++++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh4.json | 50 +++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh5.json | 68 +++++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh6.json | 82 +++++++++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh7.json | 66 +++++++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh8.json | 50 +++++++++++ .../hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh9.json | 50 +++++++++++ 24 files changed, 1230 insertions(+) create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh1.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh10.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh11.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh12.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh13.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh14.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh15.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh16.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh17.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh18.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh19.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh2.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh20.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh21.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh22.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh23.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh24.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh3.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh4.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh5.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh6.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh7.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh8.json create mode 100644 content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh9.json diff --git a/content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh1.json b/content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh1.json new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d7211f2b --- /dev/null +++ b/content/hermeneutic_lenses/chapters/josh1.json @@ -0,0 +1,66 @@ +{ + "lenses": [ + { + "lens_id": "literary", + "guidance": "vv 1-9's commission uses fourfold imperative repetition — 'be strong and courageous' (vv 6, 7, 9), 'do not be afraid' (v 9).
