in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,

Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still,

Other New Testament quotations from, or allusions to, non-Biblical
works include Paul's quotations of Aratus (Acts 17:28), Menander (1 Corinthians
15:33) and Epimenides
(Titus 1:12). Such usage in no way suggest that the quotations, or the
books from which they were taken, are divinely inspired. It only means
that the Biblical author found the quotations to be helpful
confirmation, clarification, or illustration.
