00:01Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.
00:05And I'm Junior Asparagus.
00:08And we're here to answer your questions.
00:11Yep, that's right.
00:12I bet you're wondering where Larry is.
00:16He was a little tired after the last show, so we decided to let him sleep in today.
00:21But don't worry, he'll be here pretty soon.
00:23In the meantime, Junior Asparagus has very graciously agreed to help out.
00:28Hi.
00:30Now, Junior.
00:31Yes, Bob?
00:32Today we got a letter from Victor Bartholomew of Sausalito, California.
00:38Oh.
00:39Hi, Victor.
00:40Victor has a problem.
00:42He says there's a kid named Louis in his class who hit him yesterday.
00:47Oh, my.
00:48Oh, my is right.
00:49Now, in church, Victor just learned that God wants us to be nice to people, even when they're not nice
00:55to us.
00:55But Victor doesn't really feel like doing that.
00:58Deep down inside, he wants to hit Louis back.
01:02What should he do?
01:03Should he do it his way?
01:05Or should he do it God's way?
01:07Oh, wow.
01:08I know how you feel, Victor.
01:10Sometimes the stuff I learn in church doesn't sound like very much fun.
01:14Sometimes I feel like doing things my own way, too.
01:18Do you suppose we have a story about that?
01:21Oh, do we?
01:23Have I ever told you about the Israelites?
01:26Hmm.
01:27The Israelites.
01:29Oh, yeah.
01:30I remember those guys.
01:32Weren't they supposed to be God's chosen people?
01:35That's what the Bible says.
01:37Oh, I bet they always followed God's directions.
01:41Ho, ho, ho.
01:42You'd think so, wouldn't you?
01:44But sometimes God's directions didn't seem to make sense to them.
01:47You see, well, maybe I should just show you.
01:51Huh?
01:52Close your eyes, Junior, and don't open them until I say so.
01:56All right.
02:02Okay.
02:04Well, how did we get here?
02:07We're using our imagination.
02:10Oh.
02:13So these must be the Israelites.
02:16Yep.
02:20Why aren't they out here in the middle of nowhere?
02:24Oh, ho.
02:25Now that is a good question.
02:26Have you ever heard of the Israelites?
02:27Have you heard of a guy named Moses?
02:29Hmm.
02:30Isn't he the one who parted the Red Sea?
02:33Right again.
02:34But we're going to go back a little further.
02:36The Israelites were living in Egypt, but not because they wanted to.
02:41No, the Egyptians had taken them captive and were making them work very hard as their slaves.
02:47Oh, dear.
02:48It was miserable.
02:50But God cared about the Israelites, so he sent Moses to lead them out of Egypt and into their own
02:56land.
02:56The Promised Land.
03:02This is the Promised Land?
03:05No, no, no, no.
03:06Oh, the land God promised them was wonderful.
03:09You could grow things and there was lots of food.
03:12No, this is the desert.
03:15So why are they here?
03:17Ah, yes, that is the point.
03:20When Moses and the Israelites left Egypt, all they had to do was follow God's directions
03:25and they'd go right to the Promised Land.
03:28But they didn't always follow God's directions.
03:32Sometimes they went their own way instead.
03:35What do you mean?
03:36Well, for example, Moses led them to the Promised Land right away.
03:40But when some of the Israelites took a look around, they saw people there that looked like giants.
03:45That scared them so much they wouldn't go in.
03:49They got to the land God promised them and then they turned around and ran away.
03:54Oh, my.
03:56Now, God was very disappointed in the Israelites for not following his directions.
04:00So he told them that none of them could go into the Promised Land for 40 years.
04:05You're kidding me.
04:07Nope.
04:08That's why they're stuck here in the desert.
04:12Wow.
04:13By the time 40 years had gone by, Moses had died.
04:17I thought this story was about him.
04:19No.
04:20It's about Joshua.
04:21Joshua?
04:22Who's he?
04:23Well, he was Moses' helper.
04:25When Moses died, Joshua became Israel's new leader.
04:30Do I know you?
04:31I'm the narrator.
04:34Oh.
04:35The Israelites were very sad about Moses dying because he was a great leader.
04:40But at last, it was finally time.
04:44It's time?
04:45It's time?
04:45Did he just say it's time?
04:48We didn't have a lot of fun in the desert.
04:51We didn't have a lot of fun in the sand.
04:54We'll saddle up your cow and go behind us now.
04:57Because we're going to the Promised Land.
05:00For years, I've eaten nothing but manna.
05:03A dish that is filling but bland.
05:06But now we're on our way.
05:07We'll have a chance to play.
05:09Because we're going to the Promised Land.
05:11And in the Promised Land, it's gonna be so grand.
05:14We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand.
05:18It'll be so great.
05:19Oh, we can hardly wait.
05:21Cause we're going to the Promised Land.
05:32And in the Promised Land, it's gonna be so grand.
05:38We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand.
05:41It'll be so great.
05:42Oh, we can hardly wait.
05:44Cause we're going to the Promised Land.
05:47And in the Promised Land, it's gonna be so grand.
05:50We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand.
05:53It'll be so great.
05:54With waffles on my planes.
05:56Cause we're going to the Promised Land.
05:58I hear it's flowing.
06:01Wet milk and honey.
06:04Sounds sticky.
06:05Cause we're going to the Promised Land.
06:07Yeah, we're going to the Promised Land.
06:10Cause we're going to the Promised Land.
06:16So off they went.
06:18After 40 years, the Israelites were finally going to their new home.
06:23With a big grin, Joshua led his people into the Promised Land.
06:29Unfortunately, he overlooked one little detail.
06:36Jericho.
06:46And now it's time for Silly Songs with Laddie.
06:49The part of the show where Laddie comes out and sings a silly song.
06:58Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
07:01Laddie the Cucumber presents in a sequential image,
07:06stereophonic, multimedia event,
07:08The Song of the Sabu.
07:11Sabu!
07:16This is a song about a boy.
07:18A song about a little boy and his sabus.
07:21A song about a little boy and his three sabus.
07:25The little boy who had a sick sabu.
07:28A sad sabu.
07:29And a mute sabu.
07:32And also a hippo.
07:36Um, um, this is me at the airport.
07:40This is my Aunt Ruth.
07:43This is me at a bullfight.
07:46This is me fighting a bull.
07:47The bull.
07:50This is me and the bull.
07:54This is me and the bull and I think that's the bull's cousin.
07:58He's a sabu.
08:01Hold it!
08:03You call this a multimedia event?
08:06This is a slide projector and a bed sheet.
08:10And what on earth is a sabu anyway?
08:13It's kinda like a cow.
08:16See?
08:17Yes.
08:18Well, very good.
08:21This could be interesting.
08:22Carry on.
08:24Say boo.
08:27Sing it with me.
08:29Say boo.
08:32Say boo.
08:38Boy is riding with a boo.
08:41Boy is riding with a boo.
08:43Into town in his canoe.
08:45Into town in his canoe.
09:00Say boo.
09:01Sing boo.
09:09Say boo.
09:12Say boo.
09:15Say boo.
09:17Say Boo!
09:20Say Boo!
09:23Say Boo!
09:23Say Boo!
09:28Try to tell the other two
09:30Try to tell the other two
09:31Mew Taboo is waving and grunting
09:44Uh-oh!
09:47Wait!
09:49What happens next?
09:51Does the hippo see them?
09:53Is the poor mute Say Boo successful
09:55in communicating the imminent danger
09:57to the other passengers?
09:59Is the boy injured?
10:00Why is the sad Say Boo sad?
10:03Is the canoe wood
10:04or aluminum?
10:06Oh look! There's me and Bob at Sea World!
10:10Oh wow!
10:12Forgot about that one.
10:14There's me and that bull again.
10:17You can't just start a song
10:18and leave it hanging like that!
10:21You know, I've come to expect a lot more from you.
10:25This is quite disappointing.
10:27I'm going to have to speak to Bob about this.
10:30Oh look!
10:31Say Boo!
10:32Say Boo!
10:36Oh wait!
10:38That's the water buffalo!
10:39No more song about Say Boo!
10:42Need another verse or two!
10:44The audience is staring and waiting
10:46Bye-bye-boo!
10:47Bye-bye-boo!
10:47Bye-bye-boo!
10:48Bye-bye-boo!
10:49I want my money back!
10:51Yeah!
10:52That's very good!
10:59Did you hear something, Jean-Claude?
11:02Marie-Philippe!
11:03I think someone has bumped our world!
11:10Who are you?
11:12Who are we?
11:13I think we should ask, who are you?
11:15Oh, um, I am Joshua!
11:19And these are the children of Israel!
11:21Oh!
11:22Hello children!
11:23Hi!
11:25It was nice to meet you!
11:26Now go away!
11:28Yes!
11:30No, you don't understand!
11:32God has given us this land for our new home!
11:36So well, you're going to have to leave!
11:39Oh ho ho ho!
11:40Did you hear that Jean-Claude?
11:42The little big girl says we have to leave!
11:46I'm a cucumber!
11:47Oh ho ho!
11:47That is hilarious!
11:49Oh ho ho!
11:50Oh ho ho!
11:51Let me put something out to you!
11:53Because we have a world!
11:55Oh ho!
11:56You do not!
11:57No!
11:58If anyone is to be doing the leaving, it will be you!
12:02Oh, that is right!
12:03Now listen to me!
12:05Our God said that this land was ours!
12:07And that all we had to do was follow his directions!
12:10So, I'm afraid if you don't come out, we're going to have to come in there after you!
12:16Oh ho ho ho ho!
12:18Oh ho ho ho!
12:19Oh ho ho ho!
12:20Oh ho ho ho!
12:20I'd like to see you try!
12:23You can never get over our giant world!
12:26Tiny Pickle!
12:27Yes, Tiny Pickle!
12:29You are not a mighty deer!
12:31You are just a baby gherkin!
12:33I'm a cucumber!
12:35Oh ho ho ho!
12:38Oh ho ho ho!
12:38Oh ho ho ho!
12:38Oh!
12:38My sluggy!
12:47Maybe we should fall back and regroup!
12:51Ha ha!
12:53Ha ha!
12:54Please, you coward!
12:55You may have your gun, but we have our war!
12:59Ha ha ha!
13:01Ha ha ha!
13:01Praise the war!
13:02Praise the war!
13:03I love the war!
13:04Ha ha ha ha!
13:05Well, things weren't going as smoothly as Joshua had hoped.
13:09So the Israelites decided to pull back and talk things over.
13:14That's a big wall!
13:17This time, I really mean it!
13:20We should go back to Egypt!
13:21Huh?
13:22Don't you remember?
13:24Snorkeling in the Nile!
13:26Three square meals a day!
13:28Plenty of exercise!
13:30Oh!
13:30It was paradise!
13:33We were in slavery!
13:37Nothing is perfect!
13:39Listen, kids!
13:40That land is rightfully ours!
13:42And the only way we're gonna get it is by taking out that wall!
13:47Right, Jerry?
13:48Uh, yeah!
13:49That's right, Jimmy!
13:51So Jerry and I are gonna put our heads together and come up with a plan to take out the
13:57wall!
13:58Yeah!
13:59They are so aggressive!
14:02Well, Joshua didn't know what to do, and he could see that things were getting a little out of control.
14:08Where did we put that chemistry set?
14:10Is Egypt north or south?
14:13Then he remembered that whenever Moses didn't know what to do, he would go and talk to God.
14:18How did he do that?
14:20Well, Moses found the best way was to go off by himself and just listen.
14:25I'll be right back.
14:26So Josh went away from the camp to see if he could hear God.
14:32After he had gone a ways, he saw a strange man with a sword.
14:37Whoa!
14:38Josh wondered whether this guy was on his side or on Jericho's side.
14:44Are you for us or for our enemies?
14:46Neither!
14:48But as commander of the army of the Lord, I have now come!
14:53Well, Josh realized that this was a messenger from God, so he immediately fell face down on the ground in
15:01reverence.
15:13I'm sorry. I couldn't make that out.
15:17Pfft! I said, what message does my lord have for his servant?
15:22Oh, really? That's what you said?
15:26Yes, that's what I said.
15:28Oh, alright.
15:30I come with directions from the Lord.
15:33Great! What are they?
15:35Ah, yes.
15:37The Lord says to you, Joshua, see, I have delivered Jericho into your hands.
15:44March around the city once with all your men.
15:47Do this each day for six days.
15:49Have seven priests carry trumpets of ram's horns in front of the ark.
15:54On the seventh day, march around the city seven times with the priests blowing the trumpets.
15:59When you hear them sound a long blast, have all the people give a loud shout
16:04and the walls of the city will collapse and Jericho will be yours.
16:15Well, have fun.
16:21Those were very interesting directions.
16:24They sure were.
16:25Josh went back to camp and told the plan to the rest of the Israelites.
16:29The wall of the city will collapse and Jericho will be yours.
16:34They thought it was interesting too.
16:37So, we're supposed to hop around the city for seven days,
16:42blow our little horns,
16:45yellow,
16:46and the walls are just going to fall down.
16:50Yep. Those are God's directions.
16:52Wow.
16:53I'm sure that would work great.
16:56If the walls were made out of jello.
17:00Oh, then we could eat them.
17:02Let's call for Egypt. Who's coming with me?
17:05I will.
17:07Just a minute.
17:09I think you'll find our plan a bit more sophisticated.
17:13Blowing the horns in the desert isn't going to do it.
17:16What we need is serious fire power.
17:20Sherry the curtain.
17:34Behold our creation.
17:36The Lulminator 3000.
17:44How are we clapping?
17:47I have no idea.
17:52This is terrible.
17:54It looks like they're going to ignore God's directions again.
17:58Shh.
17:58Josh has something to say.
18:01Um, I think we're forgetting something.
18:04Ahem.
18:08The Lord has given this land to us.
18:13No need to fuss.
18:15He knows what he's doing.
18:17We know that he will take care of us.
18:22If we will follow him.
18:27Now everyone sing together.
18:51As your new leader, I think we should try doing it God's way first.
18:57Well, God's way still sounded kind of funny.
19:01But the Israelites agreed to give it a try.
19:03And the next morning, there they were.
19:06Marching around Jericho.
19:09It wasn't long before the people of Jericho noticed the Israelites.
19:16What are you doing?
19:19We're going to knock your wall down.
19:24By walking around in circles?
19:27Yes.
19:30It's not because we're crazy or anything.
19:34Our God told us to do it this way.
19:37Oh, that's a great idea.
19:40You go ahead and keep walking.
19:46Keep walking.
19:47But you won't knock down our wall.
19:49Keep walking.
19:51But she isn't gonna fall.
19:53It's plain to see.
19:54Your brains are very small.
19:56To think walking will be knocking down our wall.
19:59You silly little pickle.
20:02You silly little peas.
20:05You think that walking around will bring this city to its knees?
20:10The awesome powers of this wall we've clearly demonstrated.
20:14Frighted?
20:15Ah!
20:16But out here in the hot, hot zone, perhaps you're dehydrated?
20:22Ah, pity them, Philippe.
20:24Ah!
20:24Mais oui, Jean-Claude.
20:26Mais oui.
20:27Won't you join me in my irritating little zone?
20:32It would be an honor.
20:34Yeah.
20:35Keep walking.
20:37But you won't knock down our wall.
20:38Keep walking.
20:40But she isn't gonna fall.
20:42It's plain to see.
20:43Your brains are very small.
20:45To think walking will be knocking down our wall.
20:48Keep walking.
20:49But you won't knock down our wall.
20:51Keep walking.
20:52But she isn't gonna fall.
20:55It's plain to see.
20:56Your brains are very small.
20:57But keep walking.
20:59We'll be knocking down our wall.
21:01It's plain to see.
21:04Your brains are very small, dozing-walking
21:07We'll be knocking down our wall
21:15All right, boys, let them have it
21:24We're at the beginning
21:32Double time!
21:38Well, it wasn't a pretty sight
21:40But the Israelites did make it all the way around Jericho
21:46Back at their camp that night, they talked it over
21:50Well, um, that could have been a lot worse
21:54We made it all the way around
21:56So, um, we only have to do this six more days
22:00And that'll take care of it
22:04Well, what do you think?
22:09I've got Slushy in my ear
22:12Well, um...
22:13Time to fire up the laminator, Jerry!
22:17Um, you think that's a good idea?
22:19Who wants to see the pyramids?
22:21I'm organizing a tour
22:22No, wait
22:23Things were really falling apart this time
22:27Josh needed to do something
22:29And quick!
22:30Junior?
22:31Wait!
22:33Don't you see what you're doing?
22:35God gave you directions and you're ignoring them
22:38Don't you remember what happened
22:40When you were supposed to go into the promised land
22:43But you got scared and ran away instead?
22:45Because you didn't follow God's directions
22:48You had to stay in the desert for 40 years
22:51Well, yeah, but that was...
22:55I know God's directions don't always make sense to us
22:58But things work out a lot better when we do them God's way
23:01Instead of trying to do things our own way
23:04It didn't make sense when God told you to walk right through the Red Sea
23:08But what happened?
23:10But what happened?
23:11The water dried up
23:12And it didn't make sense when God told you to live in the desert
23:15Even though there's no food in the desert
23:17But what happened?
23:19God gave you manna to eat
23:23Don't you see?
23:24Sometimes God asks us to do things that don't make sense to us
23:28Like walking around the city to make the walls fall down
23:32Or being nice to someone who hasn't been nice to us
23:35But when we remember that God made us and loves us
23:40And always wants what's best for us
23:42We can be sure that His way is the best way
23:49The Lord has given this land to us
23:54Nor need to fuss
23:56He knows what He's doing
23:59We know that He will take care of us
24:03If we will follow Him
24:08God's way is the best way
24:12Now that I know He loves me so
24:17His way is the best way
24:24And it's the way for me
24:31Tomorrow morning Josh and I are going back out there to march around Jericho
24:38Who's coming with us?
24:40You can count on me
24:46Alright, we're in
24:48Yay!
24:51Hey, somebody's got to carry that arsenal
24:54Yay!
24:58Well, Pa, do you still want to see the pyramids?
25:03Ah, I've seen the pyramids
25:07I built the pyramids
25:09Let's go to Jericho!
25:11Yay!
25:20The next day they all set off again to march around Jericho
25:24Now God never said it would be easy
25:26No, the people of Jericho hit them with everything they had
25:30Fire!
25:31Run!
25:33Fire!
25:34Seer!
25:38But the Israelites remembered that they were following God's directions and they kept on marching
25:45Six days they marched and nothing could stop them
25:52On the seventh day, just like God had told them, they marched around Jericho seven times while the priests blew
26:00their horns
26:06And just like God said, when they finished marching, the priests blew one long blast and then all the people
26:14yelled
26:19Aaaaaaahhhhh...
26:208...
26:38Whoa!
26:40Oh!
26:40Oh yeah!
26:44He he he, ah!
26:53Ahh!
27:20Hello, my name is Joshua, and God has given us this land.
27:32So the Israelites obeyed God, and the walls fell down.
27:39Finally, after 40 years, they were in their new home.
27:47Boy, did I pick a lousy day to wear my contacts.
27:54And in the promised land, it's gonna be so grand.
27:57We're gonna march through the streets, walking hand in hand.
28:01It'll be so great, no, we don't have to wait.
28:03Cause we're going to the promised land.
28:05Yeah, we're going through the promised land.
28:10Does anyone have any saline?
28:16Well, what'd you think?
28:18That was amazing!
28:21But did they really build a rocket in the middle of the desert and get slushies dropped on their heads?
28:27Uh, no. Those were some things that we put in our story.
28:31Remember? We were using our imaginations.
28:35Oh.
28:35But there really was a guy named Joshua, and the Israelites really did walk around Jericho, and the walls really
28:43did fall down.
28:44Wow!
28:45Yep.
28:46If you want to learn more about Joshua, you can read about him in the Bible, in the book called
28:52Joshua.
28:52Wow! He's even got his own book?
28:55That's right! We're over here by QWERTY to talk about what we learned today.
29:00And so what we have learned applies to our lives today, and God has a lot to say in his
29:08book.
29:10I'll be right back.
29:13Huh?
29:13What?
29:14Not so fast, tomato!
29:17Yes, we love that song!
29:20You see, we know that God's word is for everyone, and now that our song is done, we'll take a
29:27look.
29:29The Israelites learned that since God loved them and was always looking out for them, that his way was the
29:36best way.
29:38That's right. And because Joshua obeyed God, he went on to be a great leader too, just like Moses.
29:45Let's see if QWERTY has a verse for us.
29:49As for God, his way is perfect.
29:532 Samuel 22 31a
29:56Well, gee, if God's way is perfect, I guess it makes sense to obey him.
30:02I think you're right, Junior.
30:04So, Victor, I know being nice to someone who hasn't been nice to you doesn't sound like very much fun,
30:10but following God's directions is always the best idea.
30:14And maybe Louis doesn't need a punch in the nose. Maybe Louis needs a friend.
30:20Yeah!
30:21Well, we're out of time for today. Remember...
30:24God made you special and he loves you very much!
30:29Bye!
30:35Bye!
30:38Is it time for the show?
30:41Aw, nuts.
